Everyone knows that Prabhu Deva and Prakash Raj are close buddies.

Recently, the noted choreographer-director took a break from his busy schedule and visited the sets of Prakash Raj produced and directed Dhoni in Pondicherry.

On seeing Prabhu, Prakash thought it would be a good idea to rope him in to do a special appearance in Dhoni. Prabhu went back the next day, before promising to do a cameo appearance in the film.

Dhoni promises to be an offbeat movie within the commercial format with a subtle message. It is a bilingual in Tamil and Telugu and the film deals with the pressure that children undergo these days in schools.

The grapevine has it that Prabhu Deva will be doing a one- song appearance in Dhoni after hearing the script from his good friend.
