PRABHUDHEVA, WHO HAILS from South India, has directed Singh Is Bling featuring a Sikh character. Akshay Kumar, who plays a 'sardaar' in the movie, says religion has no bearing on a person's directorial skills. This is the second movie after Rowdy Rathore in which Prabhudeva is directing Akshay.
Asked how it felt that a South Indian was directing a movie on Sikhs, Akshay (pictured with co-star Amy Jackson) said: "Singh Is Kinng, which was also on a 'sardaar', was directed by Anees Bazmee, a Muslim. Singh is Bling is being directed by a South Indian, Prabhudheva. It is not at all necessary that a movie on a 'sardaar' needs to be directed by a Punjabi. In India, all castes are one and we understand each other very well. Prabhudeva has done a very good job." IANS
