Telugu superstar Prabhas says Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor essays an important role in Saaho and she has not been roped in only for song and dance sequences.
The Baahubali actor also added that Shraddha is the "best choice" for the female role in Saaho.
"I have never worked with a Bollywood actor before and she is the best choice for the role. We are very lucky to have her on board. Her character is not just like coming and going or just there for the songs. Her character is very important and adds a lot of weight to the story. It is one of the most important characters in the film. She has some amazing action sequences also. It is a very strong character".
"Shraddha is a very hard-working actor and she is very comfortable (on the sets). Most of the actresses I have worked with have started their career in South and then shifted to Bollywood. Shraddha is already a Bollywood star, but she is very dedicated. The team has till now shot for almost 40-45 days. We will start shooting for the major action sequences soon. We are planning to release the film next year. But we will be able to finalise the exact date depending on the progress of the film," Prabhas said.
Directed by Sujeeth Reddy, Saaho is tipped to be a fantasy action adventure .
