Not Anushka Shetty! Sonam Kapoor was the first choice for Prabhas' ;Saaho
Other actresses like Shraddha Kapoor, Disha Patani, and Pooja Hegde were also in the running, all of whom couldn’t do the film for various reasons
Prabhas’ Baahubali co-star Anushka Shetty will reunite with him for the futuristic action thriller, Saaho. However, Sonam Kapoor was the original choice for the role.
Says a source, “The filmmakers gave Sonam a brief idea of the film, and she agreed to meet them. But neither did the meeting happen nor did the makers return with a bound script.” And that was that as far as the film is associated with the Kapoor girl.
Other actresses like Shraddha Kapoor, Disha Patani, and Pooja Hegde were also in the running, all of whom couldn’t do the film for various reasons. Had the filmmakers not gone incommunicado, Sonam would have probably been a part of the project.
