Prabhas’ Saaho may not release on Diwali 2018 – Here’s why

Mumbai: Prabhas’ diehard fans have been eagerly looking forward to his next – Saaho – Sujeeth Reddy’s futuristic actioner but here’s some depressing news. If the latest buzz is anything to go by, Saaho may not release on Diwali next year and it could be because of Aamir Khan and Ilayathalapathy Vijay.

Yes, you read that right. Aamir, Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh starrer Thugs of Hindostan and Vijay’s 62nd film directed by AR Murugadoss are reportedly slated to release on Diwali next year.

And since both these are big budget superstar films, Prabhas, may not want to share screens with either of them.

Hence, makers of Saaho may either prepone the film’s release or postpone it.

Soon after the first half of SS Rajamouli’s two-part magnum opus hit the silverscreen in 2015, Prabhas became a household name pan India. And after the roaring success of Baahubali: The Conclusion, Prabhas became an icon of sorts and nation’s heartthrob.

After having invested five years of his career to do justice to a magnum opus like Baahubali, Prabhas will be seen on screen for the first time in Saaho, which will co-star Bollywood beauty Shraddha Kapoor.

Saaho, which is currently being shot in Dubai, also stars Neil Nitin Mukesh, Jackie Shroff, Chunky Pandey, Mahesh Manjrekar, Tinu Anand and Mandira Bedi.

Prabhas had made women fans go weak in the knees by essaying an awe-inspiring character like Amarendra Baahubali in Baahubali: The Conclusion. The hunk of a superstar has an ocean of fan following and it includes a huge percentage of female admirers.
