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.

Saaho is being touted as the largest film of 2019 and has been made on a mammoth scale. Along with Shraddha Kapoor and Prabhas, the film also stars Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Mandira Bedi, Chunky Panday, Mahesh Manjrekar, Arun Vijay, Murali Sharma, amongst others.
The makers hosted a trailer launch party at a multiplex on Saturday which was attended by the star cast including Shraddha and Prabhas. Check out the images:

Speaking at the trailer launch, Prabhas said he was stressed for his Hindi debut. He plays the role of a police officer in the magnum opus. The South star said it was difficult for him to dub in Hindi. He said, "I can read and write Hindi but we don't speak at home. I dubbed the film in Hindi, it was difficult".

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.
