Devi Sri Prasad is a hero now!!!!!

He is a guy with every quality of a hero. He is the musician of this generation. When he performs stage shows, we have thought how good will it be to see him as the hero on big-screen.

Now the time has come for us to see our Devi Sri Prasad doing a lead role. Oh yeah! But his first venture is signed-up for Telugu. Producer M S Raju is introducing Devi Sri as the hero with his next production. Tollywood’s hot girl Hansika Motwani will be paired up with Devi, which is said to be a love story.

Though we have seen many writers, lyricists and directors coming in front of the camera, it is the first time we are seeing a musician do the big thing. In fact when it comes to giving live performance, Devi Sri is very famous and a household name. It is all because he is expressive in his interviews and is ever-ready to give a power packed performance with dancing and singing.

We wish Devi does it well in Telugu and comes to Tamil too
