Michael Jackson Biopic 'Michael' Sets OTT Premiere Date on Jio Hotstar

Michael Jackson's Biopic 'Michael' Arrives on Jio Hotstar

The record-breaking biopic 'Michael', chronicling the life of King of Pop Michael Jackson, is set to stream on Jio Hotstar's Peacock Hub from August 29. The film, directed by Antoine Fuqua, has already made history as the highest-grossing biographical film worldwide, amassing a lifetime box office total of $1.01 billion.

Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson's nephew, takes on the lead role, earning widespread acclaim for his portrayal. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film's strong word of mouth propelled it to box office success. The story spans Jackson's journey from his early days with the Jackson 5 in the 1960s through the beginnings of his solo career, offering an in-depth look at the iconic artist's life.

The supporting cast includes Nia Long, Laura Harrier, Juliano Krue Valdi, and Miles Teller, each contributing to the film's detailed narrative. While Prime Video currently offers 'Michael' on a rental basis, Jio Hotstar subscribers can stream the film at no extra cost in both English and Hindi. This move is expected to attract a broader audience, especially those who missed the theatrical run.

Fans and viewers who followed the film's theatrical journey can now revisit Jackson's story on digital platforms, making it accessible to a new wave of audiences across India.
