Shraddha Kapoor scales down her weight & remuneration to work with Prabhas

So it s pukka now. Not Prabhas s good friend and Baahubali co-star Anushka Shetty, but it s Shraddha Kapoor who will be standing neck-to-neck fist-to-fist with Prabhas in his Tamil-Hinid bi-lingual Saaho.

Shraddha will have to quickly lose all the kilos she had gained to play the weighty gangster in Apoorva Lakhia s Haseena Parkar. In fact the original choice Anushka Shetty couldn t eventually do Saaho as Anushka was unable to shed the kilos in time for the shooting.

But that should not be any problem for Shraddha, says a source from the Saaho team. She is more than capable of getting back into her original shape, plus some more. She needs a more toned physique to play Prabhas s fighting-fit comrade on screen.

Interestingly Shraddha had said no to Saaho when she quoted a staggering fee to join in. But now after a string of flops behind her, Shraddha can see reason and will cut down her price to accommodate the Telugu film s budget.

Shraddha always liked the script of Saaho. But earlier she couldn t do the film as she quoted a price the Telugu producers could not afford. This time after they approached her when Anushka Shetty had to exit, Shraddha quoted a more reasonable price. And she s on, says the source.
