Jackson Wang fans, assemble! It won’t be long before we see him once again in India. The global pop star has confirmed that he will return to India in 2026 as part of his much-awaited World Tour. This announcement comes months after Wang’s Mumbai visit.  

During his previous trip, the singer not only explored the city but also soaked in its culture, from trying local street food to playing cricket with kids. One of the highlights of his visit was an exclusive soirée in Worli, where he was joined by Ankita Anthony and Vinay MR Mishra as co-hosts. The star-studded guest list included Hanumankind, Natasa Stankovic, Aastha Gill, Ash King, and more all of whom added to the night’s high-energy, Gatsby-like vibe.

“I had an amazing time in India, it was incredible meeting so many talented people and soaking in the country’s energy. Mumbai, in particular, surprised me with how vibrant and fun it was. I did it all from trying street food to playing cricket with local kids, and of course, partying!” Jackson said.

He continued, “On my last leg of the trip, I went to Milagro in Worli and honestly didn’t expect Mumbai to have a bar of such international standards. The place had this stunning Gatsby-like vibe, amazing cocktails, and I had such great company. Vinay and Ankita made sure it was one of those nights I’ll never forget. Now I’m looking forward to visiting the country again in 2026 for my World Tour and happy Diwali to everyone.”

Another memorable evening saw Jackson partying with Hrithik Roshan and his family, alongside Tiger Shroff, Karan Johar, Sonu Nigam, Adnan Sami, Pritam and Salim Merchant.

“The warmth I received was overwhelming, India truly feels like home,” Jackson said, signing off.

Directed by blockbuster filmmaker Atlee, this action-packed project also features rising star Sreeleela and the ever-dynamic Bobby Deol, marking the first time Ranveer and Bobby will share screen space. The project combines Atlee’s powerful storytelling with Ranveer’s infectious energy, creating a never-seen-before extravaganza.

Blending Bollywood spectacle with South Indian scale, this project is designed for audiences across India from college canteens to family kitchens, from small towns to metros. It’s a celebration of flavour, fun, and full-on entertainment. Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh is also gearing up for the release of Dhurandhar. The makers released the title track recently and it is a bold fusion of modern hip-hop and Punjabi beats.

The vocals have been delivered by Hanumankind, Jasmine Sandlas, Sudhir Yaduvanshi, Shashwat Sachdev, Muhammad Sadiq and Ranjit Kaur.

Notably, while the BTS members have received individual nominations for their solo work, the group itself is absent from the group categories. One of the biggest surprises this year is the inclusion of the fictional K-Pop groups from KPop Demon Hunters, HUNTRIX and Saja Boys, who landed nominations in place of the actual artistes behind them.
