It's known that Telugu actor Prabhas is making his Bollywood debut with his upcoming action adventure titled, Saaho. The film, a Telugu-Hindi bilingual has been directed by Sujeeth Reddy of Run Raja Run. Similar to Prabhas' previous films, Baahubali series, Saaho too is reportedly said to be a big budget flick.

Catch had previously reported that the makers of Saaho have roped in Bollywood actors Neil Nitin Mukesh, Chunkey Pandey and Shraddha Kapoor to portray the role of main antagonists and female lead in the film.

And now, it has been confirmed that veteran Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff has been finalised to essay the third antagonist of Saaho. The film is said to have three villain characters pitted against Prabhas.

“Saaho will have three grey characters and interestingly, all of them are from Bollywood. While Chunky Pandey’s character is dark, Jackie’s character is more suave and cool while retaining its negative streak. Neil Nitin will be seen as a tech-savvy nerd. The film’s shoot has already commenced in Hyderabad, Jackie will join the unit next week", a source close to the film said.

Saaho also stars Tamil actor Arun Vijay and is scheduled for 2018 release.
