Sivakumar is charmed by Lakshita's dance

There are many people who have in-depth knowledge about Bharatanatyam. I still have the rights to talk about young Lakshita’s dance as she performed for Lord Murugan’s song,” remarked veteran actor and artist Sivakumar at the Bharatanatyam recital of Kumari Lakshita, granddaughter of Prasad Studio’s Kalyanam.

Justifying his statement, Sivakumar said, “I have acted as Lord Muruga in the film Kandhan Karunai. My director AP Nagarajan sir auditioned 35 actors before choosing me finally. At this young age, Lakshita gave an enthralling performance. I  am very impressed with her dedication and focus,” said the actor who revealed that he learnt the dance at a very late stage in his career.

Sivakumar also requested that artistes render Bharatanatyam songs in Tamil so that the popular art form would reach even aam aadmi in Tamil Nadu.
