Prabhu Deva to choreograph a song for Dhanush's Maari 2

Choreographer-actor-filmmaker Prabhu Deva will be choreographing a song for the Tamil comedy Maari 2, starring Dhanush.

"I am super privileged to share with you all that the man who is the reason behind dance evolving in our country Prabhudheva [sic] is choreographing a song for us in Maari 2 grew up watching his magic. What a moment for me. Thank you sir," Dhanush wrote on Twitter.

Directed by Balaji Mohan, Maari 2 also stars actress Sai Pallavi. The film marks Balaji's second collaboration with Dhanush after Maari (2015).

Veteran music-composer Ilaiyaraaja has sung a song for Maari 2.

In Maari, Dhanush played a dhoti-clad, moustache-twirling local rowdy and was paired with actress Kajal Aggarwal.

Actors Robo Shankar and Vinod, who played Dhanush's sidekicks in the first part, will be part of Maari 2 as well. Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas has been signed on to play the antagonist.
