Indian, dancer, choreographer, film actor and director- Prabhu Deva- a man with many talents. It is his day today; it is the birthday of this Indian Michael Jackson!

Born in Mysore on April 3, 1973, Prabhu Deva was inspired by his father, Mugur Sundar (known as Sundaram Master), who was a dance master for popular South Indian movies. He took dancing as his career and passion, learning Indian dance forms such as Bharatanatyam as well as Western styles.

From choreography he went on to establish himself as an actor. His dance steps helped him become a star in Kollywood. Prabhu Deva's first movie as a dance director was Vetri Vizha. He has since choreographed over 100 movies.

His first role as a hero was in Indhu (1994) with actress Roja. In 1999, Deva, Shobhana and A. R. Rahman performed with a Tamil cinema dancing troupe at the "Michael Jackson and Friends" concert in Munich, Germany. He is acting as a hero in the film ABCD (Any Body Can Dance), the first 3D dance film in India, co-starring with So You Think You Can Dance contestant Lauren Gottlieb.

His career run has been very successful but his private life has always been in a turmoil. 

He is a two-time winner of the National Film Award for Best Choreography for his work.
