After releasing the teaser, the makers of Saaho have now launched the first track of the film titled Psycho Saiyaan. The track features Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor and it is their sexy moves that impress us a lot in the song.
Psycho Saiyaan is composed by Tanishk Bagchi and sung by Sachet Tandon and Dhvani Bhanushali. It has foot-tapping beats, but the lyrics could have been better. While we have seen Shraddha in such avatars earlier, it is quite fascinating to see Prabhas doing the cool moves. Even Prabhas and Shraddha are looking quite good together.
Watch the track here…
Directed by Sujeeth, Saaho also stars Neil Nitin Mukesh, Jackie Shroff, Chunky Panday, Mandira Bedi, and others. After watching the teaser and this song, we are now eagerly waiting for the trailer of the film. Saaho is trilingual shot simultaneously in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. While for the Hindi version of Baahubali franchise, TV actor Sharad Kelkar had dubbed for Prabhas, for Saaho, Prabhas will be dubbing himself.
When a film starring Prabhas is set for a release, we would expect that the makers will promote the movie on the actor’s name. But with Saaho, it is different as Shraddha Kapoor is getting an equal scope in the promotions.
The opening scene of Saaho teaser featured Shraddha and even in the song Psycho Saiyaan we can see that the actress has more screen time than Prabhas. Talking about the teaser, director Sujeeth had said, "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."
Saaho is slated to release on 15th August 2019.
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire
Rahul Bhatt sparks controversy over 'insensitive' remarks about sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt
Rahul Bhatt, fitness trainer and son of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm following controversial remarks about his half-sister, Alia Bhatt. In a recent interview, Rahul drew comparisons between Alia and their older sister Pooja Bhatt, calling the latter more talented, attractive, and principled.
The comments, which many have labelled inappropriate and insensitive, have sparked widespread criticism online. During the interview, Rahul stated, “In my opinion, she (Alia) is not even half of what my real sister Pooja is. Not in talent, not in looks, not in terms of being sexy. In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’ (watery tea). Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”
Social media users reacted strongly, questioning why Rahul would compare his sisters in such personal terms. Several users were particularly disturbed by his reference to their appearance and sex appeal, pointing out that such comparisons within a family cross boundaries of propriety. One comment read, “This is disturbing. Why talk about your sisters like that? It’s not just weird, it’s wrong.” Another post said, “There’s nothing respectful about comparing your siblings’ attractiveness in public.”
The backlash also reignited conversation around a decades-old controversy involving Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt. Rahul was asked about the infamous 1990s magazine cover where the father-daughter duo shared a kiss, which had stirred public outrage at the time. Dismissing the criticism, Rahul said, “It doesn’t make any difference. It’s like water off a duck’s back. We know the truth, and we’ve seen everything since childhood.”
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire, with critics saying it reflects a broader issue of the Bhatt family being insensitive to public perception and boundaries. Many users questioned the need for bringing up old incidents in a bid to defend new and equally questionable statements.
As of now, neither Alia Bhatt nor Pooja Bhatt has issued any public response to Rahul’s remarks. Both actors, known for their significant contributions to Indian cinema, have typically kept family matters private despite living in the public eye.
This episode has also sparked debate over the role of public figures in maintaining respect when discussing family matters in the media. Observers say such comments, especially when involving women’s appearance and personal qualities, reinforce problematic attitudes and fuel unnecessary controversies.
While Rahul Bhatt is not as prominent in the entertainment industry as his father or sisters, his comments have made headlines and placed the Bhatt family in the spotlight for reasons beyond their creative work. For many, this serves as a reminder that public platforms come with responsibility, and that family ties should not be trivialised or dissected for attention or comparison.
The backlash is unlikely to subside soon, especially as fans and followers of Alia and Pooja continue to express disappointment over the way the situation has unfolded. Whether or not Rahul chooses to clarify or apologise remains to be seen.
