Director-choreographer Farah Khan recently expressed her support for the Michael Jackson biopic on Instagram. In a throwback post with the King of Pop from 1996, she defended the film against critics, urging her followers to watch ‘Michael’. Khan highlighted the film’s exploration of Michael Jackson’s life, career, controversies, and rise to fame from a child performer to a music icon.
The biopic, directed by Antoine Fuqua, has faced criticism for allegedly not doing justice to the pop legend. It delves into Jackson’s artistic brilliance, groundbreaking performances, and cultural influence, while also addressing the media scrutiny he endured. Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson’s nephew, plays the lead role, aiming to recreate iconic moments from Jackson’s career, including hits from albums like ‘Thriller’ and ‘Bad’.
With Michael Jackson’s enduring global legacy and impact on pop culture, expectations are high for the biopic’s portrayal of the legendary artist. Meanwhile, Farah Khan previously showed admiration for Hollywood star Tom Cruise, leaving a playful comment on his Instagram post promoting the film ‘Digger’ by filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. Khan’s message to Cruise simply read, “TOMMMMM .. i DIG you (sic)”, reflecting her fondness for the actor.
