Choreographer-actor-director Prabhu Deva is currently busy directing Vijay for 'Villu'. Sources say Prabhu Deva, who had wielded the megaphone for a slew of films in the recent past in Tamil and Telugu, has chosen to bid adieu to direction for the moment. Rather, he wants to resume acting in films. He had earlier acted in several movies in the lead roles.

Buzz is that Prabhu Deva would act in a film to be directed by Thangar Bachchan. Sneha would play the heroine. Ayngaran Internationals would produce the film. Meanwhile Prabhu Deva is keen on completing 'Villu' to ensure a release by January this year.

'Villu' features Vijay and Nayantara in the lead roles. A major portion of the movie was shot in Bangkok. Vijay and Prabhu Deva had earlier rendered a hit in 'Pokkiri'.
