I've just learned of Chiru, a fantastic Telugu actor, also known as Chiranjeevi, or Konidela Siva Snara Vara Prasad. He apparently founded the Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust for Eye and Blood Donations. According to Wikipedia, he's also won four Nandi Awards and seven Southern Filmfare awards for Best Actor.
But that's not important. What is important, though, is this trio of videos on YouTube, posted in approximate order of excellence. Chiru, it seems, really likes Michael Jackson. And Axel Foley. And Boogaloo Shrimp. And cowboys. Which makes him pretty awesome in my book.
If you watch only one, watch this, Chiru's take on Michael Jackson's Thriller. They appear to have roughly grabbed scenes from Thriller and done away completely with the storyline of the original video. The song is way more kick-ass than Thriller, though - check the crazy synth-line, and the addictive Goli Mar! refrain. Also, note how hard Chiru works to keep the fangs in the beginning as he opens his mouth:
Here, Chiru sings something to the tune of Beverly Hills Cop and threatens to put you in a "Rock Trance." Also, he's dressed straight-up Breakin' style:
And finally, here's his Smooth Cowboy:
