Prabhudeva, who is considered the Michael Jackson of India moved on to become a director and even rose up as one of the top directors in Bollywood. For many mass heroes who were low in their career, he came as a boon and instilled new energy into their respective careers. Salman Khan regained his top position with Prabhu Deva’s ‘Wanted’, Akshay Kumar career sky rocketed with Prabhu’s film ‘Rowdy Rathore’ and recently Shahid Kapoor’s sinking career was saved by Prabhu with ‘R…Rajkumar’. In his long career, Prabhu worked with many actors and though he turned director, his penchant and passion for dance remains unperturbed.
When Prabhudeva graced the popular talk show ‘SoundaryaLahari’ hosted by veteran director Raghavendra Rao, Jeevita Rajasekhar too was part of the show. She quizzed Prabhu on his favorite dancer in the three film industries viz Tollywood, Kollywood and Bollywood. Prabhu’s answer came instantly that Megastar Chiranjeevi remains to be his favourite. In Prabhu’s words…’Chiranjeevi Sir, I love him. I just love him’. Well, for Jeevita Rajasekhar this is no less than swallowing a bitter pill because time and again she leaves no chance to come out in open declaring the couple’s enmity with megastar.
