Saaho's first trailer, billed as the biggest Indian thriller, was released, as promised, at 11:23 am Thursday. The one minute teaser from Saaho is a showcase for visually dazzling action, with little conspiracy. But the action is certainly spectacular, though it seems inspired by everything from Mad Max to Blade Runner, to John Wick and Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight.
Starring Prabhas in the leading role, Saaho's teaser begins with a hint of romance between his character and that of Shraddha Kapoor. We see vast environments, straight out of Baahubali. But as the teaser progresses, we are shown what has been discussed. Saaho seems to be what action junkies were anticipating exactly.
We see Prabhas stand on top of a skyscraper, looking at the neon-lit landscape. Towards the end we see a small preview of a sequence of action in the desert, which seems to be very similar to Mad Max: Fury Road, especially in the nonsense character design of a villain . But the centerpiece is an epic truck reversal – although unlike the Dark Knight, it seems to be entirely computer generated.
Saaho marks the southern beginnings of Shraddha Kapoor. It also stars Jackie Shroff, Mandira Bedi, Arun Vijay, Gulshan Grover and Neil Nitin Mukesh. The film is directed by Sujeeth and will be released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
Saaho allegedly presented the most expensive action scene in the history of India. Costing a reported crore of Rs. 90 in the scene, the filmmakers "crashed around 37 cars and five trucks," Prabhas told Khaleej Times. "We wanted everything to be real instead of using computer-generated imagery (CGI) because it gives real impact. In general, you have 70% CGI and 30% real, but here in Abu Dhabi, we opted for a more real shooting. It's something no one has ever seen before.
The film will air on Independence Day against Akshay Kumar's Mangal Mission and John Abraham's Batla House at the box office.
