Anushka Shetty out of Prabhas’ ‘Saaho’? Here’s the truth

Mumbai: Contrary to rumours suggesting that Anushka Shetty lost out on Prabhas’s ‘Saaho’ owing to weight issues, fresh report says that the pretty actress was never finalised for the film in the first place.

It was being believed that Anushka had been roped in to play the leading lady in Sujeeth’s futuristic film. Owing to the popularity of her chemistry with Prabhas in ‘Baahubali’, fans wanted to see her romancing the hunk in ‘Saaho’ too!

According to a report in India.com, originally attributed to an online portal, a source said, “The shooting is not happening at this moment; it’ll only start from this month end. These reports about Anushka are false because she’s not yet confirmed. The makers are yet to take a call. They’ll take a decision soon. [Also], everyone is speculating that Anushka is finalised for Saaho because the same banner is producing a film called Bhagmati, which stars Anushka in the lead.”

“It’s not like she’s overweight or anything. She’s looking good and she’s acting in one more film [Bhagmati]. She gained weight for Size Zero, but that was two years ago, and after that, she did Baahubali and she looked very much in shape,” the source added.

Well, this is certainly a relief for fans of Anushka-Prabhas jodi who thought she was out of the film. And now that the leading lady or ‘Saaho’ hasn’t been finalised yet, fans can still be hopeful about her role in the film.
