While Prabhas is proficient in the Southern region languages, he is having some difficulty with Hindi. The actor has taken Hindi lessons to get his dialect and fluency right. Though he is familiar with the language, Prabhas cannot converse fluently in it. Sharing his experience of the preparation Prabhas says, "Saaho will cater to audiences across the nation with its story and setting. It is not difficult, but Hindi is not my first language. So, a lot of preparation went into it. I can read and write the language, but we don’t speak in Hindi at home." Prabhas-Shraddha Kapoor’s Leaked Pic From Saaho Is Driving Netizens Bonkers!
The actor further adds, "I have done a lot of homework for it and Soni (my teacher) conducted dialogue classes for more than a month. The first schedule was tough for me, but from the second one, it got better. I will only be dubbing for it in Hindi."
Prabhas has left no stone unturned as he went under extensive action workshops for the multilingual film. The actor sometimes spent as many as 10 hours at a stretch to master the new stunts. So far, one has caught just a few glimpses of the film's action scenes in the teaser and the discussion around it clearly shows that the audience is already expecting a surprise element and the novelty of the terrific stunts.
