Saaho promises to be an action thriller. Kenny Bates, best-known for films such as Die Hard and Transformers has been assigned for directing the action sequences. "The scale on which it is being made, a major budget will be spent on some extravagant action scenes. Although it will be a commercial outing, we are attempting something new and I would like to keep that as a surprise element," director Sujeeth told IANS.

After Saaho, Prabhas is likely to collaborate with Karan Johar for a film, reported DNA. KJo was in charge of the Hindi version of Baahubali films.
