Hugh Jackman casts a spell as 'The Greatest Showman'

Biopics have been the flavour of the season in Bollywood and now, Hollywood is out with an inspiring real-life story as well. The period drama, 'The Greatest Showman', is based on the life of PT Barnum, the man behind the ‘Greatest Show on Earth’. Supported by a strong ensemble cast, Hugh Jackman plays Barnum in the film, which has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award in multiple categories. The movie has already hit the screens internationally and garnered a good response.
About the film that releases today, Hugh said, “The story will leave you mesmerised with its performances and sets. It will inspire and motivate you and you will also see me singing; I can assure that you will not hate me for that.” Director Michael Gracey added, “This film is fun, outlandish, colourful and has a heart.”
The duo also confessed their love for Hindi movies. When asked about who could be The Greatest Showman in Bollywood, Hugh named Shah Rukh Khan and replied, “I have learnt a couple of moves from him, but I need to attend a workshop with Shah Rukh on dancing.”
On his part, Michael summed up, “I love Bollywood films; I am heavily influenced by them and I am particularly impressed by Akshay Kumar.”
