Saaho opened last Friday to poor reviews from film critics but, unsurprisingly, the film managed to earn over Rs 24 crore on its release day alone. Saaho, Prabhas' first film after Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, was arguably one of the most-anticipated films of the year. The film also marks Shraddha Kapoor's debut in the Telugu film industry.
Other than Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor, the film also stars Chunky Panday, Mandira Bedi, Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Mahesh Manjrekar and Arun Vijay in key roles. Saaho released in Telugu, Hindi and Tamil.
