Ganesh Acharya is one of the foremost dance choreographers in Bollywood. He recently choreographed a song in Sivaji Productions’ Asal with Ajith and Sameera Reddy. But his connection with Sivaji Ganesan goes way back. Born near Villupuram, Ganesh was named Sivaji Ganesan as the Nadigar Thilagam’s birthplace is also the same and it is a quirky tradition of citizens there to name their eldest sons Sivaji Ganesan, in honour of the Chevalier.
Ganesh went to Mumbai with his parents as a child. He joined the Junior Artistes’ Association at age 12, the Dancers’ Association at age 14 and became a dance assistant at 17. He became a dance master at age 19 and has been involved with choreographing for movies for the last 19 years. He has worked with some of the top names in Bollywood, including amazing dancers Govinda, Akshay Kumar, Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan. He also directed a Hindi film titled Swami.
