In 2009 Prabhu Deva made his directorial debut in Bollywood with 'Wanted'. The Salman Khan-starrer was a huge hit and then in 2010 he made another superhit 'Rowdy Rathore' with Akshay Kumar. Both of them were action films.
Now, his third directorial venture in Bollywood is a musical love story with newcomer Girish Taurani, son of producer Kumar Taurani of Tips.
"It is a challenge to work with a newcomer. And I am doing this film from my heart and because I liked the subject. It was a good experience," Prabhu Deva told PTI.
The film, titled 'Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya', will have Girish and Shruti Hassan in the lead.

"It is a love story, feel good subject. It is a romantic-comedy-musical film," he said.
On why is the film titled 'Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya', Prabhu says, "'Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya' means - Ram will you come - and it is also a famous song. My hero's name is Ram, so it is a perfect title."
Produced by Tips, the film is scheduled to release in June.
