Prabhas’ and Shraddha Kapoor’s Saaho had a smashing start at the box office by grossing Rs 104 crore worldwide. The spy thriller, directed by Sujeeth continues to wreak havoc at the box office. It has already garnered Rs 79.08 crore only in Hindi version alone. The film is all set to break all box office records set by Prabhas’ Baahubali and is predicted to zoom past the Rs 300 crore mark at the box office.
Saaho has an ensemble cast and also features Neil Nitin Mukesh, Mandira Bedi, Arun Vijay, Murli Sharma, Jackie Shroff, Mahesh Manjrekar and Chunky Panday. Saaho has got a tremendous response in North and East India, other circuits are exceptional too. Since the film is multilingual its total collection is going to topple every record on the horizon.
