There are chances that Prabhas fans may get slightly disappointed for his next release, Saaho, could be delayed a bit. The film starring Shraddha Kapoor was earlier slated to release on August 15 and clash with John Abraham's Batla House and Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal. However, the decision of delaying it further could be now taken by the makers to avoid a three-way fight. Though an official confirmation on the same is awaited from the producers, movie distributors are convinced that Prabhas' next won't hit the screens on this Independence Day. After Saaho, Batla House and Mission Mangal on August 15, Here Is the List of Remaining Big Box Office Clashes of 2019.
A recent report in Mumbai Mirror quoted a source saying, "The team is yet to lock the final edit. The visual effects to enhance the action scenes is complicated and taking longer than expected. The producers are now contemplating pushing the release to August 30 or September 6 if they don’t make the deadline. The final call will be taken only once they get a confirmed date of completion from the VFX company." Mission Mangal, Saaho, Batla House or Sacred Games 2: What Are You Planning To Watch On August 15?

Meanwhile, various movie distributors across the country are raising concerns for Saaho's Independence Day release. They believe the movie will not clash with the other two releases and will be released only later. Also, two Telugu releases, Evaru and Ranarangam which were slated to release on August 23 and 2 decided to have an Independence Day release. And this sudden announcement further fuelled the rumours of Saaho getting delayed. Since this is Prabhas' immediate release after Baahubali, no one in their sane mind would try and clash with his big project. So the rumours around Saaho getting delayed by a couple of weeks may be true in the end.
