"Saaho" director Sujeeth says there was no pressure in collaborating with Prabhas after the mega success of "Baahubali" series as the actor trusts him.

The trailer of the film, an action thriller, dropped on Thursday to positive buzz on social media.

"I did not feel the pressure to direct a big star like Prabhas. He has faith in me and my work and that matters the most to me. Also, the producers and the team members showed confidence in me. But now that the film is gearing for release in few months, I can feel the pressure," Sujeeth said in a media interaction here.

"Saaho" was offered to Prabhas before he became a nationwide phenomenon
"I had the script of 'Saaho', which was ready before 'Baahubali'. I narrated him the story and he loved it."
"It is an important role for the female character. Shraddha drives the film to the end. It was a conscious decision to make my female characters strong. When we started working on the teaser, we had two options here - to go with Prabhas, considered as a huge star and you expect him to be there in the opening scene. And other was to begin it with Shraddha and we chose the latter."
