July 19 (AZINS) Since the time it was announced that Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Saaho will be hitting the screens on Independence Day 2019, people were left in a dilemma as two more films - Mission Mangal and Batla House are releasing on the same day. It was earlier reported that Saaho release might be delayed and talking about it, a source had said to Hans India, "A particular sequence in the movie requires heavy VFX shots and the team is already working on it but they are not sure of delivering the output in time if the release date is 15th August."

Now, the makers of Saaho has released a statement confirming that Saaho has been delayed indeed and will now be releasing on August 30, 2019. The makers tweeted the statement by writing, "No compromise on the content and quality! The action begins in cinemas from 30th Aug. #Saaho releasing worldwide on 30.08.2019." The statement read as "We want to bring the best to the audience. For bringing finesse to the action sequences, we need some more time. Although we are shifting the date from Independence Day we want to stick to the month of Independence and patriotism with Saaho. We are dedicated to bringing the biggest movie on the largest scale."

Earlier a source had also said, "The team is yet to lock the final edit. The visual effects to enhance the action scenes is complicated and taking longer than expected. The producers are now contemplating pushing the release to August 30 or September 6 if they don’t make the deadline. The final call will be taken only once they get a confirmed date of completion from the VFX company."
