New Delhi:
A million girls would kill for this job -
we are talking about starring opposite Baahubali star Prabhas in his next
Saaho. But it is Shraddha Kapoor who has been zeroed in as Prabhas' heroine for the action-thriller. Shraddha clearly cannot contain her excitement about the new project partially (read majorly) because Prabhas (we feel you Shraddha,
it's Prabhas after all). On Thursday, Shraddha tweeted to say: "So, so excited to be a part of the
Saaho team and to be working with Prabhas!!! Woohoo."
Saaho is Prabhas' first movie after he wrapped his five-year commitment to the two part epic series
Baahubali.
This is what Shraddha tweeted on Thursday:
The news of Shraddha coming on board for
Saaho was confirmed earlier this week when the film's producer told
Pune Mirror that the
Baaghi actress was the ideal choice for the part. "Shraddha is the perfect choice for the role. We are excited to have her on board with us," he said in the interview.
Fans of Shraddha were on a happy high earlier this month when it was revealed that the actress is in talks with the team of
Saaho - dates were still being chalked out. "The filmmakers approached her and she agreed to come on board. But she is yet to sign on the dotted line. Other modalities are still being worked out too," a source close to the movie's team told
Deccan Chronicle.
Meanwhile,
Neil Nitin Mukesh features as the antagonist in Saaho. Directed by Telugu filmmaker Sujeeth Reddy,
Saaho's high-octane action sequences will be directed by internationally recognised stuntman Kenny Bates. Shot across Romania, Abu Dhabi and Europe,
Saaho is scheduled to arrive in screens in 2018.
