One of the sources related to the movie said, ”We wanted a Bollywood actress opposite Prabhas to give Saaho a pan-India look. The heroine has a fantastic role in Saaho. We wanted someone beautiful, Indian and emotive. Shraddha Kapoor was our first choice. She heard us out and was almost jumping with excitement during the narration.She wanted Rs. 8 crores. We were shocked. We don’t pay that kind of money to actors in Telugu cinema. But she wouldn’t budge. She was like, ‘I love the script and I’d love to work with Prabhas. But the price remains unchanged.’ We fled.”

Then they went to rope in Disha Patani but she too charged high. The source revealed that she was too rude to the makers. The source said, “Disha Patani who started her career in our Telugu cinema wouldn’t meet us. When she finally did she said she’d let us know. Later she had her team members inform us that she liked the script but would want Rs. 5 crores for her fee. We want to know which Bollywood producer pays Disha Patani that kind of money, and for what?’
“Nothing worked out. We are now done with Bollywood actresses. With Prabhas in the project we don’t need them. We will cast a Telugu actress.”
Shraddha Kapoor and Disha Patani are losing a big opportunity by demanding hefty fees. Who knows that through Saaho they could have get at least one hit movie in their career.
