Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s son, Jaden Smith, is coming to India to perform at a music festival in Pune.

Indian artistes like Blackstratblues, Arjun Vagale, Lost Stories and Ash Roy among others will also be performing."

Incidentally, Jaden Smith had piqued the Indian Twitter when he tweeted saying, “I want to be in a Bollywood movie.” Twitterrati was quick to respond by photoshopping his pictures with popular Hindi movie posters.

Jaden began his career with a cameo in his father, Will Smith’s 2002 release Men in Black 2. He went on to play the protagonist with Will in the much-loved The Pursuit Of Happyness (2006), and M Night Shyamalan’s After Earth.
