Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor and South fame Prabhas have teamed up for their upcoming release 'Saaho'.

Shraddha is making her South debut also will also play the role of a cop for the very first time. She tries to control her excitement but the lid keeps popping off.
Shraddha said, “I am super-excited to play the role of a cop for the first time. It’s such a privilege. The police do so much for the country, it’s an honour for me to represent them." The actress also shared that she always wanted to essay different roles, from a doctor to a cop. “But, definitely, essaying a police officer is a special one because you are representing such an integral part of the security force of our country. It feels awesome to be playing one,” she added.
She also said, "Throughout the shoot, I got so comfortable holding the gun that it almost started feeling like an extension of my body. On set, if I didn’t have my weapon with me, I would always enquire about it. The fact that you have to use it responsibly was another thing and it’s amazing that a police officer’s mind is so sharp in terms of how they need to use the gun and in what situations." Directed by Telugu filmmaker Sujith, Saaho also features Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Mandira Bedi, Chunky Pandey, Mahesh Manjrekar, Arun Vijay and Murali Sharma. Saaho is scheduled to release on August 15. Saaho is a multilingual film and will be shot and released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages.
