Birthday special: 5 songs that went viral thanks to Prabhu Deva`s choreography

Prabhu Deva has donned multiple hats in the industry but the one that most associate him with his impeccable dance skills. His style is one that stands out and has led to him being referred to as India`s Michael Jackson. With every choreography he creates a lasting impression with his work.

The choreographer-turned-director started his career at 15 assisting his dance director father Mugur Sundar. It was his father, who encouraged him to pursue his dreams even when he flunked in an examination. Apart from his father, Prabhu Deva looks up to south superstar Chiranjeevi in high regard as he motivated him when Prabhu himself lacked confidence.

On his birthday, we take a look  at some of his viral posts:
