As 2026 marks 30 years since one of the most defining milestones
in India’s entertainment history, Michael Jackson’s concert, Wizcraft honoured that legacy and revisited the unforgettable chapter that laid the foundation for India’s modern live events industry. To commemorate that it has beenn 30 years since the legendary HIStory World Tour in Mumbai, Wizcraft Entertainment Agency hosted a special screening of the highly anticipated biopic, MICHAEL, at PVR Mumbai. The screening served as a powerful tribute to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, celebrating his enduring legacy and the extraordinary journey that first brought him to India, a monumental moment that forever changed the landscape of entertainment in the country.
As the visionaries behind that historic moment, who stood at the center of the storm to bring the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, to India, the founders of Wizcraft Entertainment Agency reflected on the extraordinary journey.
Andre Timmins commented, “When people told us it was impossible, we laughed because we were too young to know impossible. Bringing Michael Jackson to India was pure madness, passion, and faith. That one night wasn’t just a concert… it was history, and I’m still smiling at the thought that three dreamers from Mumbai made India moonwalk.”
Adding to this, Viraf Sarkari said, “I’ll never forget the sight of those two Antonov planes landing carrying shipping containers of equipment the likes of which India had never seen before. Stages, lights, sound, it was another universe of production, and to build it all here for MJ was like creating magic from scratch.”
Further reflecting on the impact of the landmark event, Sabbas Joseph added, “That event transformed everything. It changed how governments, corporations, and sponsors looked at entertainment in India. Suddenly Wizcraft wasn’t just a start-up of dreamers and we became a trusted name, a business that could deliver the impossible, and a brand recognized across the country.”
The screening celebrated the extraordinary journey behind this historic milestone from the dream of three visionaries daring to bring Michael Jackson to India, to overcoming negotiations, logistical challenges, cultural hurdles, and approvals; from the frenzy of his iconic arrival and nationwide excitement, to a spectacular show that redefined Indian entertainment forever, leaving behind a legacy that sparked the rise of India’s multi-billion-dollar live events industry.
