Sujeeth, in turn, called Prabhas a passionate actor who is very particular about the minute details of the film. “I had narrated the blood-dripping sequence (the last scene in the trailer) almost two-years back to Prabhas. The actor had this in mind and reminded me while we were shooting for the film. He hadn’t even forgotten the date on which I had narrated this particular sequence. Prabhas is like a 100 TB hard-disk, he never forgets any detail when it comes to his movies,” the director added.

Shraddha Kapoor, who is making her first appearance in Tollywood with Saaho, also thanked everyone for the film, ending her speech with a line in Telugu. Director Rajamouli too praised Sujeeth and art director Sabu Cyril for the extraordinary sets and action sequences in the film.
