There was a recent news item that Prabhu Deva is going to a 3D dance film in Hindi based on the popular ‘Step Up’ series (scroll down for the news).
It’s too early to talk about the 3D film -- Prabhu Deva The film is to be directed by Remo Fernandez who himself has confessed that he had wrote the story with Prabhu Deva in mind.
However, when we checked up with Prabhu Deva, he said: “ Remo Fernandez is a close friend and we had a preliminary talk about it. It’s too early to talk anything about it as , as I am very choosy about the films I act. At the moment I’m happy directing films and my hands are full.”
The company which is producing the film has also told Remo “to make it with a saleable young Bollywood star who is into dancing.”
Prabhudeva going to US for 'quiet' meeting with Madhuri DixitStar dancer-filmmaker Prabhudeva is planning a quiet meeting with Madhuri Dixit in her hometown Denver, which sources say is a bid to convince her to dance with him in his comeback film.
Prabhudeva, after his controversial marriage with South actor Nayanthara, will star again in a film after a long gap. The film is said to be inspired by the Hollywood hit
Just Dance. Sources say that it might be his last Bollywood film in which he plays the lead.
“Prabhu will have a quiet meeting with Madhuri next month, where they are planning to discuss as well as recount the song that they danced in (
Que Sera Kera in
Pukaar) 11 years back. He wants to revive the same magic on screen once again,” says a source.
Madhuri has apparently told that she ‘will think about it’ and in all probabilities, might make a cameo appearance in the film.
“Prabhu will be auditioning the original heroines of
Step Up (Briana Evigan of
Step Up 2 and Sharni Vinson of
Step Up 3). At the same time, it will be great if Prabhu gets to dance in a number with Madhuri Dixit. He’s also scheduled to hold some dance class workshops there. In between the auditions and the workshops, he will take a two-day break to travel to Denver,” says the source.
Sources say that the film is probably going to his last acting assignment. “Prabhu is leaving no stone unturned for the film as he knows that his opportunities as a hero has become limited,” says the source.
