Mumbai, April 26

It seems like the Michael Jackson fever has taken everyone in its grip ever since the release of the biopic on the legendary performer.

In a latest example, actor Ravie Dubey recalled the time he channeled his inner Michael Jackson back in college.

The 'Ramayana' actor took to his official Instagram handle and treated the netizens with a throwback video of himself flaunting his graceful moves inspired by Michael Jackson.

Ravie's performance was a part of an inter-college festival from his engineering days.

Dropping the nostalgic clip on social media, Ravie penned the caption, "Ancient throwback 21years ago 3rd year Engineering our inter college festival 'zodiac' .. proof that there is a little bit of #michael in all of us (we called this break dance back then) (sic)"

Recently, the biopic on the life of the late 'King Of Pops' titled "Michael" released in the theatres.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the movie chronicles the journey of the American singer from his days as a part of the Jackson 5 in the 1960s to the 1980s Bad tour.

Michael Jackson's nephew Jaafar Jackson plays him in the movie, which also stars Nia Long, Juliano Valdi, KeiLyn Durrel Jones, Laura Harrier, Jessica Sula, Mike Myers, Miles Teller, and Colman Domingo as the core cast.

Recently, veteran actor Anupam Kher remembered meeting Michael Jackson during his visit to India back in 1996. Kher admitted that the fanboy in him completely took over as he shook hands with the late legend.

Sharing his experience, Anupam wrote on Instagram, "Dearest Michael Jackson, This photograph is not just a memory... it is a feeling frozen in time. I still remember the moment I shook your hand in Mumbai. For that brief second, the fanboy in me took over completely."

Terming the moment as "surreal" and "unbelievable", Kher stated that it was "like touching a piece of magic. You were not just an artist. You were an experience."

This is genuinely heartwarming. As someone who grew up in the US but has Indian friends, I love seeing how Michael Jackson's music transcended borders. The fact that an engineering student in India was moonwalking at an inter-college festival shows MJ's universal appeal. Also, Anupam Kher's story about meeting MJ in Mumbai gave me chills. The King of Pop truly was a global phenomenon. 👑

The engineering college nostalgia is too real! Back in 2002, our college festival had an MJ tribute competition and literally every department had their own wannabe Michael Jackson dancing to 'Billie Jean' or 'Thriller'. Ravie's video takes me right back to those chaotic but fun days. And Anupam Kher meeting MJ? That fanboy moment is priceless - superstar meeting superstar. 🕺

I'm a bit torn here. While I appreciate the sentiment and MJ's legacy, the biopic 'Michael' has raised some serious concerns about glossing over the allegations against Jackson. I understand Indian audiences might view it differently, but I feel we should acknowledge the full picture, not just the music. That said, Ravie's performance looks fun and harmless.

The way Michael Jackson's music connected India and the world is unmatched. I remember my dad telling me about MJ's 1996 Mumbai concert - how the entire city was buzzing! And now Ravie's throwback and Anupam Kher's story? It's like MJ never left us. Engineering college festivals were the best - full of raw talent and zero filter performances. Miss those days! 💫
