Akki bonds with Prabhu
After bowling over the South, Prabhudeva is here to enchant Bollywood with his jhatkas and his tadkas. The Tamil star, best known for his dance steps, is directing his maiden Bollywood venture, the Akshay Kumar-starrer Rowdy
Rathore. And it seems Akshay is already a fan of Prabhu’s directing skills and the kind of commercial ingredients he has incorporated.
“Akshay is bowled over by Prabhu’s directorial skills. He was anyways impressed by the script, but the execution has left him spellbound. He feels Prabhu is bringing back the masala genre, something Bollywood stopped making since the 90s,” says a senior unit member.
What is especially surprising is that it took time for them to warm up to each other. “It took him 8-10 days to get a hang of how Prabhu was planning to shoot the film. But there has been no looking back since, and they are often seen in animated discussions,” a source informs.
While the film is half done, the hardcore action is only beginning. “They have shot some dramatic scenes. But the USP of Rowdy Rathore is its action, and that is yet to be shot,” the source continues. “It won’t be long before Akshay steps into kicks-and-punches mode again.” — JT
