When going solo or with groups, K-pop idols almost always venture towards different facets of music to realise their next artistic direction. Usually, we see idols debuting on the American charts, but we might just be able to see one on Bollywood screens very soon.
In an interview with GQ India published on 28th June 2025 (Saturday), Jackson Wang (王嘉爾/왕잭슨) hinted at his intent for a possible Bollywood debut. The 31-year-old artist had also expressed eagerly in multiple interviews during his trip to India about how he would want to be featured in films in India.
“I want to take this opportunity to announce that, actually… I’ve never acted before in my life, but my first movie is going to be a Bollywood film”, Jackson said in the GQ India interview. Joining him was Indian singer Diljit Dosanjh, who was also featured on the idol’s song “Buck”, as they converse jokingly about his possible Bollywood debut.
The GOT7 member also hinted at his intent to join actor Hrithik Roshan’s upcoming film, Krrish 4, in an interview with Elle India, saying, “Maybe I’ll be able to participate in the soundtrack. Or maybe since I’ve never acted before, it could be my first time acting”. The 31-year-old continued saying that they could bring him out on set without having a dialogue, as he could be shot as soon as he appears.
