When Hrithik, Shahid danced to Michael Jackson's tune

More than two decades after Michael Jackson wowed us all with Thriller and Bad, his iconic dance moves continue to inspire Bollywood's best dancers..

"To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins.

"Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?" asked Michael Jackson once.

  

One of the most dazzling entertainers of all time, MJ's phenomenal popularity as an accomplished song artist and ace dancer is a worldwide occurrence.

 

Full of style, rhythm and attitude, the King of Pop rocked the scene like no other. Bollywood too hasn't escaped the influence of the late legend and his signature moonwalking moves.

 

And since imitation is the best form of flattery, Hrithik Roshan, a terrific dancer in his own right, is the latest to pay tribute to the Thriller icon with his dynamic jig in the highly anticipated Bang Bang.

 

Here are others to do the same before him.

 

 

 

Only recently, Tiger Shroff showed off another facet of his Heropanti by paying a Teacher's Day tribute to his self-confessed guru Michael Jackson in an electrifying music video.

 

 

Fans of MJ will have no trouble pointing out the source of inspiration behind SRK's flexible moves in the Break Free item song he performed for Rakesh Roshan's production, Krazzy Four.

 

Interestingly, one of the orphan kids he plays guardian to in his little seen cop flick, One 2 Ka 4 also features a precocious kid (Madhur Mittal) who is a hardcore fan of his internationally famous namesake.

 

 

One of the best dancers in the business, Shahid Kapoor began his career as part of Shiamak Davar's dance troupe.

 

His know-how in technique and instinctive beat makes the guy a joy to watch as he grooves to MJ's tune in Chance Pe Dance.

 

 

Big B tries to combine his characteristic dhinchak with Jackson's sass in an abomination named Disco Bhangra.

 

The outcome is nothing short of absurd in one forgettable sequence of the Manmohan Desai disaster, Ganga Jamuna Saraswati.

 

 

Like Tiger, Sridevi swears by the pop idol to millions. So much that she even painted him for her daughter Jhanvi.

 

And while you may have missed her fleeting nod to the man behind super hit albums like Thriller, Bad and Dangerous in one endearing scene of English Vinglish, there's no way you don't remember her Bollywood/MJ mish-mash in the Naam mera Premkali chartbuster of Chaalbaaz.
