After rubbing shoulders with football legend Pele in Delhi, Hollywood actor-singer Will Smith made a quick trip to Mumbai where he hung out with filmmaker Karan Johar and actor Ranveer Singh. Smith said he was "learning the ropes of Bollywood [Hindi cinema] from two of the best in the game" and shared photos of the trio in crazy poses at a Mumbai hotel.
Johar was filming an episode of the upcoming season of his talk show Koffee With Karan along with Singh and Akshay Kumar. Smith is said to make a cameo on the episode featuring the two stars.
Later, the Hollywood actor-singer also shook a leg on the sets of Student Of The Year 2 with actors Tiger Shroff, Aditya Seal, Tara Sutaria and Ananya Pandey. He posed with director Punit Malhotra and cinematographer Ravi K Chandran.
He thanked the cast and crew for letting him make his Hindi film debut. "On Set in Bollywood!! Shout out to the Cast & Crew of Student of the Year 2. Thanx for Letting Me Play. :-) [sic]," Smith wrote on Instagram.
Years ago, Smith was supposed to be paired with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Hitch (2005). The actor had revealed to actor-director Farhan Akhtar at a leadership summit led by Hindustan Times. He later did an impromptu bhangra dance with Akhtar.
