In a recent interview, Prashanth opened up exclusively about the resurgence of his hits from the 1990s and how his dance routines have become a social media trend. The actor has become the centre of a social media trend as his evergreen songs ‘Anbe Anbe’, ‘Kadhal Kaditham’ and ‘Enake Enaka’ were recently recreated in the fourth season of Dance Jodi Dance on Zee Tamil.
Appearing as a judge on the reality show, Prashanth has taken audiences down memory lane by recreating his moves for ‘Kadhal Kaditham’ from his 1999 massive hit ‘Jodi’ with his co-star Simran. The duo’s performance, recreating the beloved song almost three decades since its release, has since gone viral across social media. On the same show, the actor also danced with Sneha to ‘Anbe Anbe’ from Shankar’s Jeans (1998). Sneha is one of the judges on the reality show.
Speaking in the same interview on the renewed popularity of his hits, Prashanth said, “I am elated to find Gen Z and Gen Alpha cherishing these timeless songs. I am glad that it has become a trend on social media.”
The resurgence, however, began even before the television performances. A promotional video from 1998 featuring a young Prashanth alongside director Shankar and co-star Aishwarya Rai during the promotions of Jeans had gone viral on social media, introducing a new generation to the actor’s screen presence.
As Jeans completes 28 years this year, fans have been hoping for a reunion featuring Prashanth, Aishwarya Rai and Shankar. When asked if such a reunion could happen, Prashanth told Cinema Express, “We haven’t thought about it yet. But I will definitely initiate a plan for a reunion.”
On the professional front, Prashanth was last seen in The Greatest of All Time, starring Vijay, and most recently headlined Andhagan alongside Simran. He is currently shooting for Ranjan – The Advocate, directed by his father, veteran filmmaker-actor Thiagarajan. The team behind Andhagan will reunite for Ranjan, which marks the acting debut of Priyanka Rajakumaran, daughter of actor Devayani, and Hari, son of producer S Kadiresan of Five Star Creations. With music by National Award-winning composer GV Prakash Kumar, the film also boasts a large cast, which includes Sathyaraj among others.
