Choreographer-director Prabhu Deva, who will shake a leg with dancing diva Sridevi at the ongoing IIFA awards here, hopes that their maiden performance will be liked by the audience

Prabhu Deva, 40, is teaming up with the star for the first time and the performance will include some of the hit numbers of Sridevi right from "Chalbaz" to her comeback movie "English Vinglish".

"I am no one to judge Sridevi's dance. She has a different level of dance. It's great that I will be sharing that space with the actress. I hope, people will love our performance," Prabhu Deva told.

Sridevi, 49, is making a comeback on the stage after a long time and her dance-off with Prabhu Deva is her debut performance in International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards.


The ace choreographer, often termed as India's answer to King of Pop Michael Jackson, had earlier performed with Madhuri Dixit in 'Pukar' and Sonakshi Sinha in 'Oh My God'.

After finishing up shooting for 'Rambo Rajkumar', which also stars Sonakshi in the lead role, Prabhu Deva will be teaming up with the actress again in his upcoming untitled film.

"I haven't thought of the title yet. It stars Ajay Devgn and there are three actresses opposite him. One of the actresses is Sonakshi. She is a brilliant performer," he said.
