‘Saaho’ seems inspired by Jerome Salle’s French film ‘Largo Winch’, just like Trivikram’s Pawan Kalyan starrer ‘Agnyaathavaasi’ was. The film sees the story of a group of dons from the fictional city of Waaji, who vie for the throne after their head dies in an accident. Elsewhere, the police department investigate a bunch of robberies with the help of an undercover cop. How these two worlds collide and is anyone who they seem forms the crux of the story. In the film, Prabhas plays the role of an undercover cop, while Shraddha Kapoor plays the role of a cop too. The film features a huge cast list which includes names like Neil Nitin Mukesh, Evelyn Sharma, Mandira Bedi, Jackie Shroff, Chunky Pandey and others.

'Saaho' is the 3rd biggest film in Tollywood history with all 3 belonging to Prabhas and the 6th in South Indian film, with 3 to Prabhas and Rajini each.
