Published 04/05/2025, 11:17 PM EDT

Every artist enters showbiz with a head full of dreams of making it to the top on their own. But on the way, A-listers find allies, making the journey more fulfilling than others. Of course, the trend train of collaborations has witnessed some of the most surprising team-ups of all time, but none like the one Will Smith teased recently. It turns out that the Bad Boys actor is not only hitting home runs for a sonic streak but pulling out all the stops to ensure an international symphonic wave unlike any other with the Indian icon Diljit Dosanjh.

Will Smith and Diljit Dosanjh recently shared an Instagram reel featuring one another where the Hancock actor pulls the craziest transition, bringing the Indian superstar straight from his phone screen to his side. “It’s Inspiring To Watch King Will Smith Doing BHANGRA & Enjoying PANJABI Dhol Beat,” Dosanjh captioned the reel as they matched each other’s steps in the classic Indian dance style. While the reel was quite the head-turner, Smith’s electrifying steps to the Indian beats were surely the showstopper.
