Actor
Prashanth's
forthcoming
Tamil
outing
Saagasam,
the
remake
of
Allu
Arjun's
Telugu
blockbuster
Julayi,
is
said
to
be
more
action-oriented
than
the
original.
"There's
a
crucial
action
sequence
at
the
interval
block,
which
was
extremely
well
shot
in
Telugu
and
was
considered
one
of
the
highlights
of
the
film.
Though
the
same
has
been
replicated
in
the
remake,
the
action
has
been
taken
a
notch
higher," a
source
from
the
film's
unit
said.
The
scene
unfolds
on
a
busy
highway.
"It
was
shot
for
nearly
three
weeks
on
two
highways
and
a
flyover.
It
wasn't
an
easy
scene
to
shoot,
but
Prashanth
ensured
there
was
no
compromise
in
the
output.
He
was
extremely
co-operative
and
was
willing
to
do
anything
to
get
everything
right,"
the
source
said.
The
film,
which
is
a
comeback
vehicle
for
Prashanth
after
five
years,
is
directed
by
debutant
Arun
Varma.
According
to
the
source,
Prashanth's
overall
performance
in
the
film
will
be
much
talked
about,
post
its
release.
"This
won't
look
like
his
comeback
film.
He
has
performed
as
though
he
has
been
working
without
a
break.
He
has
outperformed
himself
in
action
and
dance
departments.
While
most
young
actors
struggle
to
use
ropes
while
performing
action,
Prashanth
has
mastered
the
art,"
he
added.
He
even
aced
the
emotional
scenes,
added
the
source.
"There's
a
very
important
emotional
scene
between
Prashanth
and
Nasser,
who
plays
his
father.
Prashanth's
performance
in
this
scene
will
move
audiences
to
tears,"
he
said.
The
film,
which
will
release
on
Friday
(February
5th),
also
stars
Amanda,
Sonu
Sood,
Kota
Srinivasa
Rao,
Nasser
and
Robo
Shankar
in
important
roles.
