It's official: Arun Vijay has been roped in to play a key role in the Prabhas-starrer Saaho. A source close to the actor tells CE that he's part of the multi-lingual directed by Sujeeth Reddy of Run Raja Run fame. "Arun was in talks, and things have now fallen into place. His character is an integral part of the script. Prabhas' market has gone up post-Baahubali, and Arun was keen not to miss this offer," adds the source. It's not known if the role is a negative one. 

Meanwhile, the actor will begin shooting for the second schedule of Magizh Thirumeni's Thadam in the city from August 4 to 7. Arun says, "I can't tell you anything about Saaho. Right now, my focus is on Thadam. I have also been preparing for my 25th film, which I'll be announcing shortly. It will be high on action."
