'Saaho' has had mixed ramifications for 'Sye Raa', which is the first big-ticket, prestigious Tollywood film since the Prabhas-Sujeeth actioner. By turning out to be a dud in the US, 'Saaho' has negatively affected the Chiranjeevi film. It's reported that Ram Charan has failed to get more than Rs 15 Cr in terms of Overseas rights (North America) because of the poor performance of 'Saaho'.

But there is a segment where 'Sye Raa' is seemingly looking up mainly because of how the Prabhas film has done. It's North India. 'Saaho' has turned in big numbers in Hindi on the back of its solid box-office run here. Farhan Akhtar, who is presenting the Hindi version of 'Sye Raa', is most likely to enjoy the fruits of this ahead of the release of Chiru's film on October 2. (Amitabh Bachchan's presence may not have much to do with it).

Early trade reports say that 'Sye Raa' is heading for a huge release in Hindi despite Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff's 'WAR' coming on Gandhi Jayanthi. The Ram Charan-Akthar duo must be hoping for the best.
