Indian hot actress

Engeyum Kadhal (Love everywhere) directed by Prabhu Deva, starring 'lover boy' Jayam Ravi and Hansika, is said to be the perfect summer release.

Shot beautifully by Nirav Shah in the stunning locales of France, the film is expected to storm the box office this weekend.

Jayam Ravi, who has had an impressive record so far, talks exclusively to Rediff's Shobha Warrier about the film and being directed by Prabhu Deva.

When the film was offered to you, what was more attractive to you: the story or Prabhu Deva as the director?

Only a person like Prabhu Deva can direct a story like this. It was because of him that the film happened.

How was Prabhu Deva as a director?

It was an amazing experience. He not only tells you what to do but shows it to you also. Of course, he gives a lot of creative freedom too. Yes, it is tough to match up to his energy level. I had to really extend myself to reach that level.
