Prabhas has positive aura around him, says Rajamouli

Ace director S S Rajamouli, speaking at the pre-release event of 'Saaho' in Hyderabad on Sunday, said, "Interestingly, fans of others stars also want Prabhas's film to be a big hit.

Actually, Prabhas has a positive aura around him. He doesn't speak ill about anyone. His positive vibes fetched him fans across the world. I think Prabhas had a foresight and would have planned 'Saaho' while listening to the script of 'Bahubali'. He preferred a larger-than-life story over a big director.

Sujeeth is a young guy and disproved all his detractors by making a grand movie. Producers Vamsi, Pramod and Vicky have lion-heart to make this kind of mega-bucks film," Dil Raju in his address added, "Thanks to Rajamouli for showcasing the stamina of Telugu cinema with 'Bahubali' franchise.

UV Creations always make lavish movies with Prabhas. After big budget 'Mirchi', now they have spent more than 'Bahubali' for 'Saaho'. When we ask them, they say it is for Prabhas.

I am learning a few things from them including promoting Telugu cinema pan-India," In his address, director Sujeeth thanked Prabhas for giving him an opportunity.

"I was surprised when I got a call from Prabhas during the days of 'Mirchi' impressed by my film. It was a big responsibility to make a film with a national star,"

Producer Allu Aravind described 'Saaho' as the costliest film in the annals of Telugu cinema and said, "We don't know when another movie of this scale will be made." B-town star Shraddha Kapoor claimed that her T-town debut has been a great experience.

Finally, Prabhas said, "Sujeeth knows the pulse of the audience and is good in penning punchlines for mass heroes. I was apprehensive about 20-plus Sujeeth handling big starcast but he proved me wrong. He handled them like a pro and he has makings of a big director.

Sabu Cyril agreed to do this film only after listening to the script. All the technicians raised the bar on Telugu cinema. Shraddha spent two years on this film which is a rarity for B-town actresses.

From now onwards, I want to do two films a year," he concludes. Krishnam Raju, V V Vinayak also spoke on the occasion.
