Prabhas prefers B-town assistant directors?
Reigning star Prabhas and team have reportedly hired more assistant and associate directors from B-town instead from T-town for his much-awaited movie 'Saaho.'
The Telugu assistant directors brought the issue to the notice of Telugu Film Directors Union, but it didn't blow out proposition as the office-bearers advised them to take things lightly.
"A couple of assistant and associate directors approached the Directors' Guild to resolve the issue since they were losing their livelihood to their B-town colleagues," says a source, from the directors' union.
However, realizing that Prabhas was on a mission to take Telugu cinema to the next level and stamp his class in his B-town debut, established directors advised them to take it easy.
"All the payments for Telugu crew were cleared by the production house and the issue was fixed," adds the source.
Given that, the highly-anticipated multilingual action film 'Saaho' is made in three languages and particular focus is on Hindi version.
"Crew from Bollywood assisted director Sujeeth in dialogue sequences and the Hindi version has shaped up very well," the source adds.

The action choreography of the film has been supervised by Kenny Bates, who has worked on Hollywood hits like 'Transformers' and 'Mission Impossible' and 'Rush'.
"B-town associate directors are well-versed in arranging and organizing equipment for slam-bang action sequences and pen crispy dialogues which helped Prabhas to come up with a good performance in his B-town debut," the source concludes.
The action adventure marks Shradda Kapoor's Telugu debut while it is Prabhas maiden Bollywood film.
V Vamsi Krishna Reddy has produced the film alongside T-Series' Bhushan Kumar. Written and directed by Sujeeth, the film releases on August 30.
