Prabhu Deva wants to call the shots

Tirupati, Oct 10 (UNI) Dancer-actor-choreographer Prabhu Deva says he is more interested in directing films than acting.

Talking to reporters at Srikalahasti temple yesterday, where he performed special pujas for 'Rahu' and 'Kethu,' the expert dancer said he would be directing the Tamil version of Telugu hit 'Pokiri'.

Prabhu Deva donated Rs 10,000 to the temple for the free food programme for pilgrims.

Prabhu Deva said the director's role was important in the entire film production process and he was trying to establish himself in this. The new responsibility he had taken up would not affect his dance career, he clarified.

He said he had no Telugu films on hand.

'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana', a film directed by Prabhu Deva in Telugu was a smashing hit. However, his recent film 'Pournami' had not done well at the box office.
