We all were excited that the hit Baahubali Jodi of Prabhas and Anushka Shetty will be coming back to the silver screen in Saaho. Well, you may be in for some mistake. Fans of this Jodi were upbeat when news of their gathering on screen made a buzz. Some even felt that the makers of Saaho would profit by this throwing, particularly with the tremendous achievement of SS Rajamouli’s film.
As per recent reports, it is said that Anushka was undergoing a huge body transformation for her part in the film Sahoo. The makers of the film wanted to forget her desi girl image of Devasena in Baahubali and be dealt with to a chic adaptation of Anushka in Saaho.
A source close to the project told that she has been prepping for her part and also staying away from the eyes of the media. The actress was even missing from the SIIMA 2017 and some theorized it was because she wanted to keep her new look under wraps. But we now hear that Anushka may have missed out on a plum project opposite Prabhas.
A source close to the Saaho unit revealed, “Anushka was training hard for her role in Saaho. However, her weight has become a bone of contention. She is still about five to eight kilo overweight. And this might cost her the film itself.”
Anushka had put on gobs of weight for her film Size Zero. Even SS Rajamouli needed her to shed the additional weight for Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. however, it seems that due to injury on sets the weight loss process got delayed. In fact, when the film release many felt the character looked different in many scenes.
Returning to Saaho, we hear that the makers had approached numerous Bollywood actresses for the role. It appears while Katrina Kaif rejected the part since she didn’t know Prabhas (before Baahubali happened), Shraddha Kapoor requested an astounding amount to do a South film.
At the end, the makers approached Anushka Shetty to play the female opposite Prabhas. But looks if the actress fails to shed a few kilos then Saaho’s heroine dilemma will continue.
