Siva Shankar master, one of the leading dance choreographers of South Indian cinema passed away. The 72-year-old breathed his last on November 28, Sunday due to COVID-19 complications.

The veteran choreographer who was born in Chennai on December 7, 1948, made his entry into the film industry as an assistant choreographer.

Siva Shankar master won the National Film Award for Best Dance Choreography for the song number 'Dheera Dheera' from the 2011-released Ram Charan starrer Magadheera. He has choreographed over 800 songs in his illustrious career, which lasted for over 4 decades. He also appeared in several Tamil and Telugu serials, and many popular films.
