Shraddha Kapoor all set to lose weight for ‘Saaho’

Shraddha Kapoor had gained a few kilos for her role in Apoorva Lakhia’s ‘Haseena Parkar’. But now she has to lose weight for ‘Saaho’. It was recently confirmed that Shraddha has been roped in to star opposite Prabhas in the film which is a Telugu-Tamil-Hindi trilingual flick.

Apparently, ‘Baahubali’ actress, Anushka Shetty was supposed to star in ‘Saaho’, but it is said that as she couldn’t lose a particular amount of weight, she opted out of the movie. A source from the film’s team said, “But that should not be any problem for Shraddha. She is capable of getting back into her original shape, plus some more. She needs to sport a toned physique to play Prabhas’ fighting-fit comrade on screen.”

Well, we all know that Shraddha was the first choice for the film, but as she had quoted a huge amount for the movie, the makers had decided not to cast her. The source said, “Shraddha always liked the script. But previously, she quoted a price that the producers couldn’t afford. After Anushka had to exit, Shraddha quoted a more reasonable price.”

Well, it will be interesting to see Shraddha romancing Prabhas on the big screen. ‘Saaho’ also stars Neil Nitin Mukesh who will be seen as an antagonist in the movie. (Also Read: Confirmed! Shraddha Kapoor to star in Prabhas’ ‘Saaho’)

Talking about her weight gain, at the trailer launch of ‘Haseena Parkar’, Shraddha had stated, “I had put on near to 9 kilos for the role and now I am in the process of losing that weight. As an actor it has been an interesting and emotionally challenging experience.”

Shraddha has always been one of the fittest actresses of Bollywood, and we are sure that she will easily lose weight for ‘Saaho’. Apart from ‘Haseena Parkar’ and ‘Saaho’, the actress also has Saina Nehwal’s biopic in her kitty.
