Prabhas and his 'Baahubali' co-star Anushka Shetty are all set to team up yet again, for action-thriller 'Saaho'. However, sources reveal Anushka wasn't the first choice for the role and in fact, Sonam Kapoor was first approached to play Prabhas' leading lady but things did not work out.
A source said that the makers gave a brief idea about the film to Sonam and asked her to meet. The actress, who was impressed with the script agreed, but later, neither did the meeting happen nor did the makers approach the actress with a concrete script. Prabhas and Anushka's chemistry was loved and appreciated by the audiences in 'Baahubali 2' and it was this popularity that resulted in the actress' casting.
Written and directed by Sujeeth, most parts of the film will be shot in Mumbai. 'Saaho' stars actor Neil Nitin Mukesh as an antagonist.
