Shraddha Kapoor, who is gearing up to make her southern debut with Prabhas-starrer Saaho, will be seen as a feisty cop in the multilingual action-thriller.

"Shraddha plays a no-nonsense cop who tries to get to the bottom of mysterious murders, and attempts to track down the criminal behind it. She has performed some breathtaking action sequences in the film," informs a source.

Directed by Sujeeth of Run Raja Run fame, Saaho, which is being made on a lavish budget of Rs 300 crore, has been shot in Hyderabad, Mumbai, and United Arab Emirates. With the talkie portions wrapped up, the makers will soon be filming the balance song featuring Prabhas and Shraddha in a specially constructed set at a popular studio in Hyderabad. The film's trailer will be unveiled on June 13.

While the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy trio has composed the songs, the makers have recently roped in Ghibran to compose the background score for this mega entertainer.

Also featuring a host of stars including Neil Nitin Mukesh, Arun Vijay, Mandira Bedi, Jackie Shroff, and Vennela Kishore in pivotal roles, Saaho is slated for a worldwide release in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi on August 15.
