After months of speculatio­ns around the leading lady of Saaho, the makers have announced their final choice. And it’s none other than our Haseena Parkar

actress, Shraddha Kapoor, who has got the opportunit­y to share screen space opposite Prabhas, who has become a household name across India post the success of SS Rajamouli’s blockbuste­r series Baahubali. The actress who seems to be quite thrilled about this project says that she is now taking Telugu coaching. “I am very excited as it’s my first multilingu­al film.

He is arguably the most touted currently, so it’s great he has got this love and adulation.”
