During his India trip, Jackson met Hrithik Roshan, the pictures of which emerged on social media platforms. It also sparked rumours of a possible collaboration on Krrish 4, with Jackson himself teasing that he might be a part of the film. But now Jackson has said that these reports are fake.
Talking about Hrithik, he said, "When we're together, especially Hrithik and I, we don't talk about work. So work-related stuff is never brought up in our conversation." He added that Krrish 4 is a big movie, but he is not in it.
Recently, in an interview with Elle India, Jackson teased about being a part of the film. "I think he's preparing for a new movie, Krrish 4. I don't know, maybe I'll be able to participate in the soundtrack. Or you know, maybe…I've never acted before. So maybe this'll be my first time acting. Maybe in the movie, you see me and I come out and I die right away," Jackson had said.
Jackson took a trip to Mumbai to promote his upcoming album Magic Man 2, a follow-up to his 2022 album Magic Man. He previously visited the country for a performance at Lollapalooza India in 2023.
Recently, Jackson met Hrithik's family too. Rakesh Roshan took to his Instagram and shared a group picture in which Jackson stood beside Hrithik. The duo twinned in their black outfits. Sharing the photo, Rakesh wrote, 'Jackson welcome & God bless!'
Hrithik will be next seen in the film War 2. It also stars Jr NTR in the lead role. With Krrish 4, Hrithik will mark his directorial debut. The Krrish franchise, launched in 2003 by Rakesh Roshan, has become iconic in Indian cinema. It started with Koi Mil Gaya (2003), which introduced Rohit Mehra and his alien friend. The success continued with Krrish (2006) and Krrish 3 (2013).

Prince William's 43rd birthday: Late Queen's ‘stinging' advice to Kate Middleton before their wedding revealed

Prince William is celebrating his 43rd birthday today, June 21, with wife Kate Middleton and their three children. Kate, who has been married to Prince William for 14 years, reportedly shared a "grandmotherly" bond with his grandmother, late Queen Elizabeth II, and considered her "a gentle guide". Even before the couple got engaged, Queen Elizabeth was not afraid to point out things in Kate's life that she felt required attention, as reported by the Daily Mail. Prince William and his family are celebrating the Prince of Wales' 43rd birthday on Saturday, June 21. AP/PTI(AP06_16_2025_000342A)(AP) According to Royal Family correspondent Katie Nicholl, Queen Elizabeth remained concerned about Kate not having a stable job. If the two of them were not at Balmoral, then they were probably "skiing or holidaying on Mustique." "Kate was there so often the press dubbed her Queen of Mustique, a title that had previously belonged to Princess Margaret," Nicholl said. This was the time when people back home struggled through recession, while William and Kate enjoyed their island life, the Royal author noted, adding that such "frivolous displays of wealth were unpalatable to the Queen." Further, she claimed that although the world speculated that an engagement was on the horizon for the two of them, the Queen felt that the "announcement should be postponed until Kate was settled in a career." What Queen Elizabeth II told Prince William Back then, an insider said that the Queen had an opinion that if Kate is to be William's consort one day, then she needs a "proper job." The sources added that the Queen even held conversations with "few trusted friends" regarding how they could tackle what was called "the Kate problem". In June 2008, Kate used to work for her parents' mail-order company, Party Pieces. Later on, she worked at Jigsaw, owned by her parents' close friends. But she quit the job in less than a year.
