Saaho's trailer has been received with a positive response for its over-the-top action sequences and also for the fire that Prabhas and Shraddha's chemistry has ignited. The trailer takes us through the high-octane action scenes and beautiful chemistry of Prabhas and Shraddha. While Prabhas looks every bit of a heartthrob, Shraddha is also killing it with her oomph factor in this one.

Reportedly, Saaho is also being touted as one of the most expensive Indian movies made when it comes to set design. Sources suggest that it nearly took two years and Rs 65 crore for production designer Sabu Cyril to create Saaho's universe. A source from the creative team had earlier told mid-day, "Prabhas was keen on roping in Sabu Cyril as he had done a great job with the sets of Baahubali. Taking a cue from the makers of the Batman series who have created Gotham city, the director and Cyril designed a fictional city, modelled on Abu Dhabi. Cyril and Sujeeth hand-picked a team of 300 artistes, including visual effects artistes and digital compositors, for the task. With the skyline of the UAE capital serving as the blueprint, Cyril and the VFX team gave it a futuristic spin by way of spiral-designed buildings and neo-futurist architectural structures. The interiors were built from scratch by Cyril in Hyderabad."
Saaho is directed by Sujeeth. The film has been produced by V Vamsi Krishna Reddy, Pramod Uppalapati and Bhushan Kumar. The movie is being shot simultaneously in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
