Furthermore, there is a restricted holiday for Ganesh Chaturthi on Monday which will help Saaho to put a big total in the first four days despite negative reviews that are surfacing everywhere.
Saaho not only marked the debut of Prabhas in Bollywood but also marked the return of Prabhas to the big screen since the actor did not sign any movie for 5 years because of Baahubali.
The film has a budget of over 350 crore riding on it, which makes it one of the most expensive films to come out of India.
Released on August 30 in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, Saaho stars Jackie Shroff, Chunky Panday, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Mahesh Manjrekar and Mandira Bedi in key roles apart from Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor.
