Prabhas recieves thrice of what Shraddha will get for Saaho?

After discussing her price for weeks, Shraddha Kapoor has finally given the nod to director Sujeeth's Saaho, co-starring Baahubali star Prabhas and Neil Nitin Mukesh. We have come to know now that the actress gave the go-ahead after getting her fee of Rs 9 crore! But that’s still INR 21 crore less than what Prabhas is getting. The actor is said to be getting paid a cool INR 30 crore.

 

A source tells, “It’s a big budget action extravanganza costing Rs. 150 corre. Originally Shraddha wanted 12 crore. Her reasoning was that as the film is being shot in three languages - Hindi, Tamil and Telugu – simultaneously, the shooting would be more taxing for her and she wouldn’t be able to shoot for other films then. She charges Rs. 4 crore (approx) per film for her Hindi films so she wanted the same per Tamil and Telugu film. After negotiating and bargaining for weeks as the producers were keen to have her opposite Shraddha and she suits the role, their final offer was Rs. 9 crore."

 

The source further added, "The deal got finalized last week. But the fact remains that Prabhas will take the 30 crores as remuneration and it is more than triple of what Shraddha is getting today! Saaho will be shot in Mumbai, Abu Dhabi and Romania and every character in the film has many shades but Prabhas himself will be seen in a never-seen-before avatar and will be seen doing lots of modern-day action and will be undergoing training. His role is totally different from Baahubali and post that he’s also raised his market price from Rs. 25 crore to 30 crore (approx) and deservingly so.”

 

The producers wanted to cast a Bollywood actress to add a pan-India appeal and now with Shraddha Kapoor on board, everything seems to be smooth sailing with Prabhas having got his co-star. Anushka Shetty and Disha Patani were also in contention as the leading ladies. Saaho has already gone on the floors and is expected to release next year. Prabhas and Shraddha will start shooting from end August. A massive set has been erected for the same in Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad.
