Jackson Wang is on his second trip to India, the country he had dreamt of visiting since his GOT7 days. And now that he’s here, the K-pop idol is making sure to bag at least one Bollywood project, and who better to collaborate with than his buddy Hrithik Roshan. Jackson recently sat down with Pinkvilla and addressed the widely speculated rumours about his cameo in Krrish 4. But that’s not all. The Hong Kong-based rapper has also been binge-watching a lot of Bollywood films lately, and fans are impressed by how deep his knowledge runs. The K-pop star is currently in India promoting his new solo album, Magic Man 2.

Jackson Wang on cameo in Krrish 4

While in Mumbai, Jackson was welcomed by Hrithik Roshan’s family, father Rakesh Roshan and mother Pinkie Roshan. They posed for pictures and even offered him blessings along with some advice. Speaking to the outlet, Jackson called Hrithik a “big legendary star as himself,” and shared that their chat went way beyond just work, calling it inspiring. When pressed on the Krrish 4 rumours, Jackson kept teasing, “I’m in. You’d be surprised. You’d be like, ‘Was that Jackson?’ I come out and I die right away. I love that.” 

But then, half-joking, he admitted he genuinely wants to be part of the superhero franchise. When asked if he’d be willing to contribute vocals and music for the film, the K-pop star said if Hrithik asks, it would be an honour, and he’d even do it for free. “Maybe I should sign with Hrithik. Please sign me, I’m officially announcing I’m in Krrish 4. The soundtrack is me, the side cast is me. You probably won’t see me in movie, But you will see me at the screening party,” he added.

Jackson Wang praises RRR, White Tiger

While describing his new album, which revolves around accepting every part of life, good or bad, Jackson shared his love for SS Rajamouli’s RRR. The film, starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, won an Oscar in the Best Original Song category. Jackson said he was hooked on the dance battle with the leads. Calling the storyline “crazy,” he said, “It is so deep, it’s about friendship, but at the same time they become enemies, and it ends with a dance battle — and it was being very honest.” He pointed out how plots like that can easily turn cringe, “but the film didn’t, it was just wow.”

Jackson revealed he’s also friends with White Tiger star Adarsh Gourav, whom he randomly met at a hotel in Thailand while grabbing lunch at the buffet. He approached him saying, “Hey, I know you.” Once again, Jackson praised the film for avoiding clichés and pulling off an unexpected performance, but had a question for fans: “When the character was in the basement, were the cockroaches CG, CGI, or real cockroaches? I really want to know the answer.”

Jackson recently teamed up with Indian Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh for the new single “Buck.” The K-pop idol revealed how he slid into Dosanjh’s DMs after watching him tear up the Coachella stage, and then pitched the idea hoping for a collab. He also spoke about reuniting with his GOT7 bandmates in Thailand, where the group performed two sold-out shows at Rajamangala Stadium in May. Talking about it, Jackson said it felt good to be back with his group, where decisions were made as a team, not just about him. “I had my own opinions but this is about us. I just need to focus on practicing and doing my job well,” he said.
