Hyderabad: Choreographer Shiva Shankar was hospitalised earlier this month after testing positive for the coronavirus and his condition deteriorated. On Sunday evening, he passed away at the hospital in Hyderabad. His eldest son is also being treated for the viral infection, according to a PTI report.
Actor Sonu Sood, who never fails to help, came to Shiv Shankar’s and his family’s aid during the crisis. Dhanush, the actor-turned-filmmaker, also lent a hand.
“It’s painful to watch what’s happening with Shiva Shankar Master struggling for his life, and his younger kid is also fighting the same battle,” Sonu Sood told ANI after Shiva Shankar was admitted to the hospital. Dhanush, the actor-turned-filmmaker, is said to have contributed to the funds.
Sonu Sood tweeted Sunday night, “Heartbroken to hear about the demise of Shiv Shankar masterji. Tried our best to save him but God had different plans. Will always miss you masterji. May almighty give strength to the family to bear this loss. Cinema will always miss u, sir.”

He has a four-decade career as a choreographer, choreographing some of Tollywood’s most iconic and popular songs. In the late mid-1970s, he collaborated on a succession of hit numbers with prominent stars like Chiranjeevi, Vijayakanth, and Sarathkumar, and his career took off. In 2011, he won a National Award for the song “Dheera Dheera” from Ram Charan’s SS Rajamouli-directed film “Magadheera.” Shiva Shankar appeared in Telugu and Tamil films such as Thaanaa Serndha Koottam and Sarkar in addition to working on choreography.
We pray for the family’s strength as the departed soul rests in peace.
