One such person who played a major role in<br />
introducing dance to films is Prabhu Deva. He<br />
has been an actor, choreographer and dancer<br />
in Indian cinema. He has majorly worked in<br />
Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam movies<br />
in his initial days of his career after which he<br />

Vanathai Pola (2000), Deva turned up as<br />
a choreographer and he has been the first<br />
consideration in the mid 90s and 2000s as<br />
choreographer. Prabhu Deva was inspired by<br />
his father, Mugur Sundar, a choreographer<br />
for South Indian movies, and took up dancing<br />
learning Indian classical dance forms such as<br />
Bharatanatyam from Dharmaraj and Udipi<br />
Lakshminarayanan as well as Western styles.<br />
Raju Sundaram and Nagendra Prasad are his<br />
brothers.<br />
Deva first appeared as a background dancer<br />
for a song in the 1988 Tamil film Agni<br />
Natchathiram. Deva’s first venture as a<br />
choreographer was Vetri Vizha (1989). He has<br />
since then choreographed in over 100 movies.<br />
From choreography, he went into acting. His<br />
first film as an actor was Indhu (1994) with<br />
actress Roja. In 1999, Dheva, Shobhana and<br />

chairman and director of the Prabhudheva’s<br />
Dance Academy in Singapore. He planned to<br />
release his first video album called It is boring<br />
in 2013. He also played the lead role in ABCD<br />
(Any Body Can Dance), the first 3D dance film<br />
in India.<br />
After a successful career as an actor and<br />
a choreographer, Prabhu Deva made sure<br />
he succeeded in direction too. He made his<br />
debut as director with a Telugu movie titled<br />
Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana. He then went<br />
on to direct films in Telugu, Hindi and Tamil<br />
languages such as Shankardada Zindabad<br />
(2007), Pokkiri (2007), Wanted (2009), Rowdy<br />

last directorial venture Action Jackson ended<br />
as a debacle at the box-office starring Ajay<br />
Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha. He is currently<br />

and Amy Jackson in the main leads. The movie<br />
has been slated for release on October 2nd<br />
