Versatile film personality Prabhu Deva prayed at the temple of Lord Vayulingeshwara at Srikalahasti near here on Saturday.

His visit assumes significance in the wake of widespread reports that his relationship with actor Nayantara was strained.

Prabhu Deva performed Rahu-Ketu puja at the temple, probably to invoke blessings to reverse his sagging romantic fortunes, accompanied by some relatives and industry friends.

Later, he undertook poor feeding (annadanam) for about 1,000 people behind the temple. A well-known local spiritual personality, Sambrani Swami, guided the actor in doing the annadanam.

When the media approached him, Prabhu Deva said he would not speak to them just now. “I am coming here again for Shivaratri. I will speak to you on that day,” he said. He waved to the locals and devotees who surged to have a glimpse of the star, popularly known as India’s Michael Jackson.
