Prabhas even took to social media to release the song. "New symphony from Saaho with romance and lots more is out now. Hope you all like it! #Saaho #SaahoOnAugust30," the actor posted on Instagram.
This is the fourth track from Saaho album besides Enni Soni, Bad Boy and Psycho Saiyaan that have already been released. While all these three songs are peppy tracks, Baby Won't You Tell Me is a slow love song.
Trailer: Saaho, which is directed and written by Sujeeth and produced by UV Creations and T-Series marks Prabhas' debut in Hindi films. It is also Shraddha Kapoor's debut in South Indian cinema. Saaho has been shot simultaneously in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil with IMAX cameras.Additionally, Saaho is Prabhas' first release after blockbuster hit Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Needless to say, the expectations from the film are quite high.
The movie's trailer has already generated a lot of curiosity amongst Prabhas's fans. Recently, a video went viral where many fans of the Baahubali star was seen dancing in front of a theatre screen as soon as the teaser of the movie was shown. Shraddha Kapoor took to Instagram to share the video. "#PrabhasFans madness!!! It's been a dream to work with @actorprabhas @sujeethsign & the entire team! Over 2 years of hard work by the entire team of Saaho... overwhelmed by this reaction already! Thank you, thank you, thank you! #SAAHO #15thaugwithsaaho @actorprabhas @sujeethsign @uvcreationsofficial (sic)," she posted on her Instagram page.
Box office prediction: According to the trade pundits, the movie is expected to break several box office records including the opening-day collection of Thugs of Hindostan. The Aamir Khan-starrer had managed to earn around Rs 52 crore at the domestic market.
According to trade analysts, Saaho is expected to gross over Rs 60 crore on Day 1. The Hindi version of Prabhas' Saaho is expected to earn around Rs 15-20 crore, claims film trade analyst Girish Johar. Furthermore, the movie's all India collection could be around Rs 75 crore combining Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu collections, says film critic Sumit Kadel.
However, if Saaho manages to gross over Rs 60 crore on its Day 1, then it could easily beat the record of the Thugs of Hindostan, Avengers: Endgame and Kabir Singh, which is the highest Bollywood grosser of 2019.
