“When I got on set, I felt like I had gone back in time and was in the stadium recording the tour. Watching Jafar perform, I thought, “Wow, it’s Michael.” The way he looks…everything is Michael. For anyone who didn’t have the opportunity to see him live, that’s how it was,” said Kevin Mazurwho photographed Jackson throughout his career and was one of the last to show up to rehearsals for the tour’s concerts “This Is It”.

“Jafar goes beyond physical resemblance. It’s Michael’s spirit coming out in a magical way. You have to experience it to believe it,” the director also noted in his statement Antoine Foucault (Antoine Fuqua).
