It is going to be one tough task for moviegoers to choose among 'Mission Mangal,' 'Saaho,' and 'Batla House' as all the three movies are scheduled to hit theaters on August 15.

With Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer 'Saaho' and Akshay Kumar's 'Mission Mangal' creating buzz and John Abraham's 'Batla House' inspired by a real encounter intriguing fans, it seems that the battle between the trio would be an intense one.

Based on an incredible true story of India's mission to Mars,'Mission Mangal' also stars Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Nithya Menon and Sharman Joshi in pivotal roles.

Helmed by Jagan Shakti the film is co-produced by 'Padman' director R Balki.

 

While action thriller film 'Saaho' has a lot to offer in terms of spine-chilling action sequences of 'Baahubali' actor Prabhas, the film also marks his debut in Bollywood.
