The pre-release event of 'Saaho' was held on Sunday evening at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. It was a grand event graced by the film's cast and crew and a few prominent industry personalities.

Rajamouli began his speech saying that the fans of all heroes wish Prabhas' films well. "Prabhas never speaks anything negative about anyone. He means well and that's why he gets all the love. He is a farsighted actor who began thinking about his next movie even when 'Baahubali' was being made. He didn't insist that he should work with a big director after 'Baahubali'. He went by the story. Sujith is very young and, as far as I know, the film's teaser has shattered all doubts regarding his caliber. He has done a fantastic job. It's not an easy job for any director to handle an all-India star like Prabhas and all these big technicians. I am sure that 'Saaho' is going to rock and go beyond. Sabu Cyril sir kept on erecting sets for the movie. This film is going to be a blockbuster," the 'Baahubali' director said.

Dil Raju said that he was astonished by the scale of the event. "I thank Rajamouli garu today because it's he who has taken the Telugu film industry to this level. UV Creations has spent on 'Saaho' more than what was spent on 'Baahubali-2'. Vamsi, Pramod and Vikram have done this only for Prabhas. These people are working day in and day out on 'Saaho' to this day. Director Sujith is so lucky that he didn't take long like Rajamouli garu to go national. He is an all-India director already. Prabhas is an actor who has done just three movies in three years. The Trailer for 'Saaho' says it all. It's clear that he is going to score a blockbuster again. He is a most loveable star. I have interacted with a number of star heroes. He feels like a friend, not a star," he said.

'Rebel Star' Krishnamraju said, "Saaho has the calibre to compete with Hollywood, is what many have told me. The stunts, the chases - they are superb. Kenny Bates, the stunt master, is one of the top-most technicians in the world. Rajamouli garu knows the story of the film and he feels it's fine. Let me assure you all that this film will not go wrong. Nothing to worry. I hope that Prabhas becomes an international star with 'Saaho'."

Allu Aravind said, "Prabhas was an ordinary hero many years ago. Today, he is an all-India star. It's a matter of great pride that our Telugu man has become a national star."

'Saaho' releases on August 30.
