Sahoo:
Prabhas,
or
Darling
(by
his
ardent
fans
across
the
globe),
has
amassed
a
sizable
fan
base
over
the
years
and
has
become
one
of
the
most
loved
and
worshipped
actors
in
India.
On
the
occasion
of
one
of
his
career's
biggest
hits,
Saaho,
completing
4
years
today,
we
tell
you
how
the
superstar
left
a
strong
mark
on
the
hearts
of
the
audience
and
give
you
reasons
to
look
into
the
world
of
this
action
thriller!
Tryst
with
Hindi!
While
Prabhas
is
known
to
get
into
the
skin
of
his
characters
and
make
them
believable
and
relatable
for
the
audience
and
his
million
followers,
he
took
Hindi
lessons
and
did
a
lot
of
homework
to
prepare
for
his
character.
Along
with
his
dialogue
teacher,
Prabhas
conducted
dialogue
classes
for
over
a
month
and
also
dubbed
for
the
same
in
Hindi.
Action-packed
climax
sequence
with
over
100
fighters!
When
it
comes
to
Prabhas,
things
are
expected
to
be
grand
and
extravagant!
A
team
of
100
fighters
from
across
the
globe
was
hired
for
the
larger-than-life
action
sequence
featuring
the
superstar
and
the
baddies.
It
was
choreographed
by
the
internationally
acclaimed
director
Peng
Zhang
of
Hollywood
biggies
like
The
Last
Samurai,
Hellboy
II:
The
Golden
Army,
and
Rush
Hour
3.
It
became
one
of
the
biggest
USPs
of
the
film.
Prabhas
collaboration
with
international
stunt
coordinator
Kenny
Bates!
Prabhas'
stunt
sequences
in
the
film
have
been
shot
extensively
in
Dubai,
with
the
makers
spending
a
huge
chunk
of
the
movie's
estimated
budget.
Hollywood
stunt
director
Kenny
Bates
had
choreographed
the
stunts
for
the
movie,
and
it
was
certainly
one
of
its
kind
in
the
Indian
film
industry.
Interestingly,
Kenny
Bates
was
awestruck
by
Prabhas'
commitment
and
was
heavily
impressed
by
the
actor's
attitude
when
it
came
down
to
pushing
the
envelope
for
action
scenes.
Prabhas'
impressive
physical
transformation
as
Saaho!
To
play
the
role
of
a
cop
in
the
film,
Prabhas
had
to
tone
it
down
to
over
10
kgs
for
which
he
went
on
a
strict
diet
that
spread
across
seven
different
meals
during
the
day.
Because
workouts
and
training
constituted
a
fundamental
aspect
of
his
weight
loss
regimen,
he
followed
a
diet
that
was
rich
in
protein
and
carbohydrates.
Workwise,
Prabhas
next
projects
include
Salaar
with
Shruti
Haasan
and
Kalki
AD
2989
with
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Deepika
Padukone,
and
Kamal
Hasan.
He
also
has
Spirit
with
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga,
and
another
untitled
project
with
filmmaker
Maruthi.
