Bearded Actor gets Hansika again

India's Michael Jackson Prabhu Deva as he's fondly called by his fans has been having a mixed bag in his reentry as a hero with movies like Devi doing well and others like Gulaebhagavali failing to work at the box office.

His recent release was the dance flick, Lakshmi, costarring Aishwarya Rajesh and Ditya Bande and directed by his Devi maker AL Vijay and the movie is running to lukewarm response and the actor-director combo will next join hands for Devi 2 as well.

Now the actor has signed yet another movie an action thriller. This movie has been titled Thael and is directed by dance choreographer turned director Hari Kumar of Madurai Sambavam and Thoothukudi fame and is bankrolled by studio green. Hansika who paired with Prabhudeva earlier is now likely to join the team as a female lead once again.
