This single is a tribute to the King of Pop

Michael Jackson is an inspiration to several dancers from around the world. One among them is our very own Prabhudheva, who is also known as India’s Michael Jackson. Now, we hear the actor-director-choreographer is releasing a song, titled King Of Pop, as a tribute to

MJ

. The single has been composed by Premgi and sung by Suresh Peters.

Aravind Aakash

, who has directed the video, says, “I started my career as a dancer and I came up with this video as a tribute to the man who has always inspired us to dance better. We are releasing this video because MJ has been our guru; he has taught us so many things — style, attitude, movements. He was probably the first man who could sing and dance with so much energy, all at the same time, and do it so effortlessly. In fact, Tamil cinema had followed a particular style of dancing, but that changed after Prabhudheva master introduced MJ style of dance. He still considers MJ his guru.”

The video features as many as 150 dancers performing different dance moves and this has been woven into the form of a story. Dopeadelicz, a popular dance crew from Mumbai, is one of the prominent groups that's part of the video. Aravind adds, “With upbeat music and inspiring lyrics, this song is very special to us. MJ will continue to live through his dance and music and this video proves that.”
