Prabhu Deva exudes contagious energy when he is on stage. He may be working with Bollywood's ‘Bhaijaan’ Salman Khan to helm Dabangg 3, but he is primarily known for dancing. Prabhu Deva started working as a kid and first appeared in a song in Mani Ratnam's 'Mouna Ragam'. Prabhu Deva is the son of Sundaram master, a National Award-winning choreographer in the south Indian film industry. Before beginning to choreograph for movies, he first advanced to the position of background performer.
Prabhu Deva started his career at the age of 15 and Kamal Haasan pulled him in his first movie, Vetri Vizha. Following that, he choreographed over 100 movies, including ones he also produced. He is well known for adding a local flavour to Michael Jackson's style, and it has since come to be recognised as his trademark look. His footwork is an art form in and of itself, and many songs, particularly Kadhalan and Mr. Romeo, have beautifully captured it.
Songs like Muqala Muqabala and Kay Sera Sera show how the King of Pop served as his inspiration when he first began out. Here are 6 incredible dance routines he choreographed as he turned 50.
