Prabhu, who starts shooting for the film this week, has taken time off from direction. Says Prabhu,“I did act in Remo D’Souza’s ABCD 2 last year. But it’s been a while since I faced the camera in Tamil or Telugu. But now, I am taking three months off to act in this film.”

He says he had no choice. “I wanted a hero who didn’t charge money. I was the only one willing to do this film for free.”

Prabhu says he was enthused to face the camera because of this film’s uniqueness. He says, “We haven’t really done a horror-comedy in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.”

Prabhu has a different team working with him on each of the three versions. However, Tamannaah, Sonu and she features in all three versions. Each film will be culture-specific.”

In fact, for the first time, Prabhu is attempting a new look on screen. “I have a new haircut, and a new wardrobe. I can’t recognise myself!”
