After Saaho, Telugu superstar Prabhas to be seen in a Bollywood romantic film
Telugu superstar Prabhas is riding high after the path-breaking success of Baahubali sagas — Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. He is all set to be seen in an action hero avatar in the upcoming trilingual film (Hindi, Telugu and Tamil) Saaho that also stars a bevy of Bollywood actors, starting from Shraddha Kapoor as the female lead; actors Jacky Shroff, Chunky Pandey, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Mandira Bedi — all in negative roles.
While the speculations of the Baahubali star's Bollywood debut has been doing the rounds for quite some time now, Prabhas, in a recent interview revealed that he will be seen in a Bollywood romance drama, reports India Today.
India Today's report suggest that the actor spoke to The Times of India and said, "I watch a lot of Hindi films. I live in Hyderabad, where 60 per cent of the people speak Hindi. I am getting good offers from Bollywood. I had okay-ed a script three years ago. It is a love story that I will do post Saaho."
Prabhas, further speaking about his love for Bollywood, also spoke about the cordial relationship he shares with Karan Johar. "I made a good association with Karan Johar. If I want anything, I think I can ask him. He has helped us a lot. In fact, I met some actors (from Bollywood) in Karan's house. They were all very chilled out."
Speaking about fitting in different genres, he said that it is the script that matters at the end. If the script is good, an action star can pull of a romantic film and vice versa, reports Indian Express.
Prabhas is reportedly shooting for Saaho in Los Angeles. The film is expected to hit the screens later this year.
