Saaho Director Took Mom Advice Seriously

Young Rebel Star Prabhas' upcoming entertainer Saaho directed by Sujeeth is leaving all shell-shocked. The teaser that released yesterday is going viral on social media getting record number of views.

Many are wondering whether Saaho is a super hero film. Sujeeth however clarifies saying, “I don’t term it as a superhero movie because normally when you say ‘superhero’, it’s kind of includes something surreal. But there is no surreal thing in the movie; it’s a natural thing — like what’s happening in the world. But I call it superhero because Prabhas is like a superhero for us after he did Baahubali. When you watch the film it might look like a superhero film, but it is not a superhero film.”

About the powerful role, female lead Shraddha Kapoor got in Saaho, Sujeeth revealing the secret behind it says, “When I wrote the character, even though Shraddha plays the heroine, she gets the same screen space. I never increased or decreased because Shraddha is a part of this movie. When I made my first movie, my mom said ‘you didn’t have an important role for the female character’. I took it personally and thought I will make my female characters very strong. The moment you see Shraddha in the film, she kind of drives the film till the end. Every character should take the story forward and that’s what I believe.” 

He rubbishes pressure on him from all quarters and especially from Prabhas himself. On handling fan pressure, he says “I don’t feel any pressure, because Prabhas believes in me and that makes you comfortable. I don’t socialize so I don’t know what people are saying. Now, when I am out talking to people, it’s kind of building up pressure. I am not on Twitter and all, but people send me some screenshots. I read once where someone has written ‘the movie should be good nahi toh (or else)… ‘ so this is the kind of stuff that I receive.”
