Sujeeth directorial action-thriller '
Saaho
' starring south star
Prabhas and
Bollywood
actress
Shraddha Kapoor has crossed the ambitious Rs 100 crore mark for the
Hindi
version of the film. However, the film hasn't been able to create quite a big impact on the southern market.
Despite being touted as the second most expensive film ever made in the country with a budget of Rs 350 crore plus, critical reviews haven't shown any mercy to the film.
In an interview with Deccan Chronicle, Director Sujeeth opened up about the
criticism
of the film and said, “I made the film that Prabhas sir, my producers, and I believed in. The audiences came in large numbers to watch it, but still, I am being treated as harshly as if I have committed a crime.”
He further added and said that ''I don’t know why all these reports targeting me are being published. I last gave interviews one day after the release of Saaho. Even when I say ‘no comments’, it is turned into an interview. And those quotes are now being used against me.''.
Written and directed by Sujeeth, 'Saaho' also stars Neil Nitin Mukesh, Arun Vijay, Chunky Pandey, Jackie Shroff, Mahesh Manjrekar, Mandira Bedi, Evelyn Sharma, and Vennela Kishore.
