Sathish Krishnan (also credited as Sathish) is an Indian dance choreographer, actor and film director, who has worked in predominantly Tamil films.[1]
Career
After winning the first season of the reality dance show, Maanada Mayilada, Sathish was first seen portraying Vinay Rai's friend in Jeeva's Unnale Unnale (2007). In Vaaranam Aayiram, released in 2008, Sathish played a small but memorable role as Suriya’s school friend. His association with renowned director Gautham Vasudev Menon led to an opportunity to act in Achcham Enbadhu Madamaiyada (2016), where he portrayed Silambarasan’s friend. Notably, Sathish also showcased his choreography skills by handling all the songs in the same film.[2] He is the recipient of National Film Award for Best Choreography for Thiruchitrambalam (2022).[3] Sathish made his directorial debut with the romantic comedy film Kiss (2025), starring Kavin.[4]
