Michael OTT releaseWhen and where to watch Michael? You can watch Michael in India on August 29, 2026, on JioHotstar. The OTT release date chosen is carefully thought out as it marks Michael Jackson's 68th birth anniversary. As Jaafar Jackson's first-ever acting role, the actor-singer spent two years researching and training to embody his uncle's trademark mannerisms and historic dance moves. I really started studying it on a daily basis, and practising in the mirror for hours and hours every day.
