The 29-year-old Jaafar, son of Jermaine Jackson, brings to life Michael Jackson's iconic songs, including Beat It, Thriller, Billie Jean, and Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, capturing the King of Pop's decades-long musical journey.

The trailer also hints at Jaafar portraying Michael's life through the 2000s, providing a glimpse into the personal and professional moments of the late pop star who passed away in 2009 at the age of 50.

The movie also features Miles Teller as Michael's lawyer and manager, John Branca, Colman Domingo as Michael's father, Joe Jackson, Nia Long as his mother, Katherine Jackson, and Kat Graham portraying Motown legend Diana Ross, according to People.

Reflecting on his first screening experience, Jaafar noted, "As soon as it came on, it was a completely different experience than what I thought it was going to be. It went by so fast... the second time I saw it was a completely different experience. I was able to understand what the story is and really allow myself to enjoy what's on the screen," according to People.

'Michael' is set to hit theatres worldwide on April 24. (ANI)
