Saaho Box Office Failure: Prabhas Is The Most Affected?
News

By Staff
Saaho's
lacklustre
performance
at
the
box
office
is
definitely
not
good
news
for
the
Telugu
film
industry.
The
film,
which
has
been
projected
as
the
most-expensive
Telugu
movies
of
all-time
couldn't
rake
in
the
expected
collections.
Now,
if
some
of
the
reports
that
have
come
up
are
anything
to
go
by,
Prabhas
is
the
most
affected
with
the
poor
show
of
Saaho
at
the
box
office.
Reportedly,
Prabhas
won't
receive
any
salary
for
this
much-hyped
movie.
According
to
a
source
quoted
in
Freepressjournal.in,
Prabha
has
signed
as
a
guarantor
of
Rs
50
crore,
which
the
producers
have
reportedly
borrowed
from
the
market
for
this
big
movie.
It
is
being
reported
that
Prabhas
may
have
to
do
some
more
films
for
free
if
Saaho
has
failed
to
generate
the
necessary
revenue
at
the
box
office.
"The
interest
amount
on
the
film
is
Rs
78
crore.
Prabhas
will
probably
not
get
a
rupee.
Instead
he
will
have
to
be
responsible
for
the
money
that
has
been
borrowed," the
source
has
been
quoted
as
saying
by
the
media.
Reportedly,
the
source
also
mentioned
that
UV
productions
are
planning
to
sell
some
of
their
properties
so
as
to
pay
back
the
amount.
It
has
been
three
weeks
since
the
release
of
Saaho,
and
the
Telugu
version
of
the
film
has
not
performed
up
to
expectations.
On
the
other
hand,
the
Hindi
version
has
performed
exceptionally
well
and
has
emerged
as
a
super-hit
in
the
concerned
centres.
The
Tamil
and
Malayalam
versions
of
the
film
also
failed
to
make
any
significant
impact
at
the
box
office.
According
to
reports,
Saaho's
budget
is
in
excess
of
Rs
350
crore
and
there
are
very
less
chances
for
the
film
to
have
made
profits
from
its
theatrical
run.
Saaho
has
been
directed
by
Sujeeth
and
produced
under
UV
Creations
banner.
