Anupam Kher couldn’t resist from appreciating the much-awaited biopic of Michael Jackson, calling it a magical project.

On Sunday, April 26, the Dil Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge star shared a video on his Instagram handle.
In the clip, Kher is seen appreciating Antoine Fuqua’s biographical film as well as Jaafar Jackson for incredibly portraying his uncle.
The video was accompanied by a caption, that read, “MICHAEL IS MAGIC. Last night I watched the biopic #Michael on the one and only Michael Jackson. Phenomenal. Inspiring. Deeply moving. I must confess, I don’t understand English music as much as I understand emotions. But with Michael Jackson, language was never a barrier. Just like Charlie Chaplin, he spoke directly to the heart. And the heart understands everything.”
Reflecting on the inspiring journey of the pop icon, the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai actor further added that the world cannot have another Michael Jackson.
“Sometimes I feel critics forget that. They judge moments, not journeys. And journey’s are messy, beautiful, unpredictable… just like life itself, I came out of the film feeling grateful. Grateful that such artists exist,” he added. “Grateful that we get to witness their brilliance. There will never be another Michael Jackson. And maybe that’s the point. And #JaafarJackson as Michael is unbelievably AMAZING and OUTSTANDING! Jai Ho!”
The Thriller hitmaker, who is known for his iconic pop music, died at the age of 50 in 2009.
For the unversed, Michael has sparked a wave of mixed reviews following its release on Friday, April 24.
