Saaho,
the
biggest
Telugu
movie
of
the
year,
arrived
on
Amazon
Prime
some
time
back,
giving
Prabhas
fans
a
reason
to
rejoice.
While
detractors
trolled
it,
'Darlings'
loved
the
action-thriller
and
watched
it
again.
Shortly
thereafter,
Tollywood
fans
got
into
an
ugly
war
with
Yash
supporters,
who
claimed
that
the
pan-India
biggie
KGF
had
secured
more
'views'
than
Sujeeth's
flick
on
the
popular
platform.
Both
sides
hurled
insults
at
each
other
and
this
ruffled
a
few
feathers.
Now,
it
seems
that
the
showdown
was
based
on
'cooked'
facts.
According
to
reports,
Amazon
Prime
never
discloses
viewership
data
for
new
additions
to
the
digital
library/catalogue.
As
such,
most
of
the
tall
claims
being
made
by
fans
are
baseless
and
highly
avoidable.
In
case,
you
did
not
know,
Saaho,
shot
against
a
mammoth
budget,
featured
Prabhas
in
a
stylish
new
avatar
and
revolved
around
the
chaos
that
prevails
post
a
tycoon's
death.
It
starred
Bollywood
beauty
Shraddha
Kapoor
as
the
leading
lady,
marking
her
Tollywood
debut.
Actors
Arun
Vijay,
Jackie
Shroff,
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
and
Murali
Sharma
too
were
a
part
of
the
cast.
Saaho
proved
to
be
a
failure
in
the
Telugu
states
but
emerged
as
a
runaway
hit
in
the
Hindi
belt.
While
talking
about
the
magnum
opus,
the
Baahubali
star
had
said
he
was
'stressed'
before
its
release
as
the
expectations
were
quite
high.
"My
friend
told
me
how
kids
in
Gujarat
are
singing
Baahubali
songs.
So
the
pressure
is
also
more.
It
is
scary.
I
have
had
so
many
sleepless
nights
for
Saaho.
I
couldn't
sleep
for
many
days
because
of
the
stress.
Suddenly
it
gets
on
to
you," he
had
told
PTI.
Coming
to
KGF,
it
was
an
action-drama,
which
featured
Yash
in
an
intense
avatar.
Released
on
December
21,
2018,
it
set
the
box
office
on
fire
and
received
rave
reviews
from
all
quarters.
Its
sequel,
titled
KGF
Chapter
2,
is
slated
to
arrive
in
theatres
next
year.
