Baahubali star Prabhas is on his way to  Abu Dhabi in order to shoot an extensive never-seen-before chase sequence that will last for 20 minutes for his Bollywood debut Saaho.

The Indian Express reports that the chase sequence with Prabhas is being shot on a grand scale and it will involve a lot of cars, trucks and other vehicles. It is an integral part of the narrative and has been in the planning for a while now.

The same report states that the film’s spokesperson also confirmed the news and says, “Saaho is a futuristic action entertainer and Abu Dhabi is the perfect location for shooting some key chase sequences. The city’s skyscrapers make it the perfect backdrop for our schedule, the first of which was wrapped up in Hyderabad recently.”

Action choreographer Kenny Bates, who has already amazed the audience with Hollywood hits like Transformers, Mission Impossible, Rush Hour and Armageddon, will be a key part of this team. The film is simultaneously being shot in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The cast of Prabhas starrer Saaho has grabbed the headlines even since the first announcement. Shraddha Kapoor will be seen in the lead role opposite the south Indian actor. The star cast of this film got more interesting with names like Jackie Shroff, Chunky Panday, Mahesh Manjrekar and Tinnu Anand joining the team.

Shooting for this high-octane futuristic action-drama started in August in Hyderabad. The action thriller is directed by Telugu filmmaker Sujeeth Reddy. Apart from Hyderabad, the film will be shot in Romania, Abu Dhabi and Europe.  Saaho  is expected to release in 2018.
