Superstar Prabhas, who became a global star after the blockbuster success of the ‘Baahubali’ franchise, is back with his new film ‘Saaho’, which promises to be an extravagant action thriller and is rumoured to be made at a budget of Rs 350 cr.
In a bid to ensure that there are no repetitions or similarities in the film’s stunt sequences, the makers even roped in multiple action directors.
Here’s taking a look at the top five action sequences in the movie, which has been written and directed by Sujeeth.
THE HERO’S ENTRY: This sequence has been designed by internationally acclaimed action director Peng Zhang. He was asked to choreograph a largerthan-life entry scene for Prabhas, and the actor had to train for three weeks to get the shot okayed in a single take.
GUN FIGHT: Directed by Bob Brown, this sequence has been shot like a dance number with the help of a (dance) choreographer. In fact, the makers claim that this is the first time in Bollywood that a choreographer has been roped in for an action sequence.
CAR CHASE: This sequence has been designed by another internationally acclaimed action director Kenny Bates. This particular sequence took over three weeks to be completed.
JETMAN SEQUENCE: The unit flew off to Italy especially for this. Though Prabhas wasn’t required for this sequence, he insisted on accompanying the team and was there throughout the shoot.
THE CLIMAX: This was choreographed by Peng Zhang, and was shot in Europe.
Saaho is an high-voltage action film directed by Sujeeth. The film, also starring Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Mandira Bedi, will release on August 30.
