Prabhas harasses woman in 'Saaho': Feminists

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,September 03 2019]

Quite expectedly and understandably, the Prabhas-Shraddha Kapoor portions in 'Saaho' have come to be criticized by feminists.  Some of them have gone to the extent of saying that the actioner is more objectionable than even 'Kabir Singh'/'Arjun Reddy' in terms of harassment of the female colleague.

No prizes for guessing that the complaints are about how Ashok Chakravarthy (Prabhas) behaves with Amritha Nair (Shraddha) at the workplace.  The hero likes her beauty and talks about it out of turn in the first half.  And she and her male colleagues (Vennela Kishore, Murali Sharma) are fine with it.  In the era of 'Me Too', how on earth can such things continue to go? asks a social media user, disgusted with the screenplay.

Prabhas' character touches her inappropriately twice - in the first scene where he takes her help to climb up a wall and in the pub scene, notes another user.

Directed by Sujeeth, the film has come in from attack from practically all shades of viewers!
