Global K-pop sensation Jackson Wang is currently making headlines during his India visit, not just for promoting his upcoming album Magic Man 2, but also for sparking rumors of a possible appearance in one of Bollywood’s most anticipated films: Krrish 4. The buzz began after Jackson was spotted dining with superstar Hrithik Roshan and his family, setting off fan speculation about a possible collaboration.
A Star-Studded Dinner and a Whirlwind of Rumors
Jackson Wang, a member of the wildly popular Korean group GOT7, reunited with Hrithik Roshan during his India tour for a private dinner attended by the Roshan family and a few close industry friends. The meet-up was not their first. The two previously crossed paths in 2023 during Jackson’s Lollapalooza performance in Mumbai. But this time, the interaction seems to have gone beyond friendly greetings, as Jackson dropped multiple playful hints about being part of the Krrish 4 universe.
Adding to the excitement, veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan posted a picture from the evening featuring himself, Jackson, Hrithik, and Sunaina Roshan. “Jackson, welcome and God bless!” he wrote, further fueling speculation about a potential film collaboration.
Jackson Wang: “I’m the new Krrish… Just Kidding”
In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Jackson was quizzed about the swirling rumors of his involvement in Krrish 4. His reply was both laughable and charming.
“Perhaps I should sign with Hrithik. Sign me, please; I’m in Krrish 4. This is what I’ve officially declared at the moment. The soundtrack is me, the side cast is me,” Jackson joked in his characteristic humor. He added with a laugh, “You probably won’t see me in Krrish 4 because as soon as I come out, I die. But you will see me at a screening party. I’m the new Krrish. I’m just kidding. I’m sorry, I’m an extrovert. Please accept that. I’d like to mix stuff up.”
Though clearly joking, Jackson’s comments didn’t go unnoticed by fans, who began trending hashtags and fan art featuring him in superhero avatars.
More Than Just Banter? Music Collaboration on the Cards?
Whereas the acting aspect looks like a tongue-in-cheek indulgence, Jackson’s enthusiasm for making a musical contribution to the movie looks real. When asked if he would agree to compose music for Krrish 4, Jackson replied spontaneously, “Bro, anytime, please, for free.” Like, it’s my honor.”
The idea of Jackson lending his musical talents to the franchise is not far-fetched, especially given his global appeal and artistic versatility. A possible Jackson-Hrithik dance number? “That’s crazy. That’s a good idea. Magic Man 3,” he joked again, but fans are already sold on the thought.
A Bond Beyond Movies: Jackson’s Affection for the Roshans
It’s evident that Jackson has great respect for the Roshan family. Referring to his chats with Hrithik, he said, “A lot of conversation is very inspiring, honestly. Just about life and how to deal with stuff.”
He also appreciated Hrithik’s parents, film director Rakesh Roshan and Pinkie Roshan. “His father and mom always teach me a lot of stuff. ‘Hey, be careful of this, be careful of that.’ They’ve been through everything, so I learn a lot every time I meet them,” he said.
The cordial respect between Jackson and the Roshans indicates that while a lead movie role may be a bit of a stretch at present, more intrinsic creative associations, perhaps in the form of music or promotional material, are very much within the range of possibilities.
What’s Next for Krrish 4?
While Jackson’s appearance in Krrish 4 might be a bit of a prank rather than genuine, the film itself is very real and generating good buzz. Set to go on floors in the first quarter of 2026, Krrish 4 is a defining moment in Bollywood’s superhero odyssey. This chapter will be extra special because it will also mark Hrithik Roshan assuming the director’s seat from his father, Rakesh Roshan, for the first time.
In other thrilling news, Pinkvilla previously shared that Priyanka Chopra will be making a comeback as Priya, augmenting the nostalgia and anticipation for the film. Most thrilling of all, Krrish 4 will witness the return of Jadoo, the beloved alien character from Koi… Mil Gaya, 23 years after his first appearance.
The Takeaway: A Tease or a Trailer of What’s to Come?
Jackson Wang may not be the new Krrish, at least not yet, but his infectious energy and open admiration for Hrithik Roshan and his family have definitely caught everyone’s attention. No matter if it leads to a musical collaboration, a cameo, or just a permanent friendship, the fans are here for it.
For the time being, Jackson is concentrating on Magic Man 2, but Bollywood enthusiasts can’t help but question, will this cheeky banter become a blockbuster moment?
Stay tuned. After all, anything is possible in the world of Krrish and Jackson Wang.
