Prabhas’ Saaho makes it big in Japan

After the success of Baahubali franchise, Prabhas emerged as a Pan Indian star, and as a result, expectations surrounding Saaho was sky high before its release. However, upon its theatrical release in 2019, it flopped at the Indian box-office. Even though audiences praised Prabhas for his scintillating screen presence and style, it was the weak screenplay that spoiled everything.

But now, the makers of Saaho have something to rejoice. It was around a few days back that theaters in Japan were reopened post the coronavirus outbreak. Saaho which had its release in Japanese theaters has now apparently impressed audiences and critics alike.

This action thriller has become the highest opener for an Indian film in Japan. The film has apparently shattered the collection records set by Aamir Khan’s Dangal. After the release of Baahubali: The Conclusion, fame of Prabhas has reached sky-high among Japanese audiences, and this factor has played a crucial role in elevating the collection figures of Saaho in the country.

Sujeeth has directed Saaho. Apart from Prabhas, the film also stars Shraddha Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Arun Vijay, Murali Sharma, Lal, and Mandira Bedi in other prominent roles.

Prabhas is now awaiting the release of his new movie Radhe Shyam which is being directed by Radha Krishna Kumar. In this movie, Prabhas will romance Pooja Hegde on screen. The first look poster of this romantic drama was released a few days back, and it was welcomed warmly by audiences.
