Mukherjee, who was conferred with Padma Shri -- India's fourth highest civilian honour -- in 2014, is best known for his 2010 book "The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer".
Jackman took to Twitter to share a photograph in which he can be seen reading the book while sitting in a car.
"'The Gene' a fascinating read," he captioned the image.
