Prabhas birthday gift to his fans | Shades of Saaho
Prabhas has a lot to look forward to – after the massive success of Baahubali franchise, he is ready to return with the multilingual Saaho. To mark his 39th birthday, Prabhas shared a behind-the-scenes look at the action thriller which is being made at a phenomenal budget and in three different languages.
Titled Shades of Saaho, the video gave a feel of the stylish thriller that has been shot in India and Abu Dhabi. A special place was reserved for action sequences in the film. “Action director Kenny Bates came to Abu Dhabi for a recce and he loved the location. He wanted to shoot everything live. Almost 90% of whatever that we are going to show on screen is real. He wanted to show the real cars. He wanted the real cars to fly. We crashed around 27 cars and five trucks. We wanted everything real instead of going for CGI as it gives a real impact. Generally, you have 70% CG and 30% real but over here in Abu Dhabi, we opted for a more real shoot,” Prabhas had said earlier.
In case you were still stuck on Baahubali, consider those ghosts exorcised with Saaho and Prabhas’ stylish look. However, there is more to his repertoire than just the SS Rajamouli epic. As he turns 39, we bring you five must-watch films of birthday boy Prabhas from his decade-long career.
