It's finally happening! The two action stars of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar, and Tiger Shroff, are coming together for a project. Back in December 2021, it was reported that the two stars are in talks to headline the official remake of Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan, which originally starred Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda in the lead roles. Interestingly, helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar, it will be an out-n-out action entertainer and expected to be mounted on a huge scale. Now, production house Pooja Entertainment is all set to make the announcement on Sunday.
According to a source, "The producers of Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan remake, Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, and Deepshikha Bhagnani, will officially announce the film starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff on Sunday, February 5, 2022, at 12:30 in the afternoon. The remake is one of the biggest films in their upcoming slate of projects bringing two generations of action stars together for the very first time. The film, which is already in the pre-production stage, will be helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar and is expected to be one of the large-scale films."
Adding to that, "The comedy remake will be on the same lines as the 1998 film and likely to have the same name. Originally with tarring Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda, the two actors were seen in double roles and Raveena Tandon starred as the female lead. Keeping it more interesting in the modern storytelling, the high-octane entertainment in the film will be amped up as Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, both, are known for their larger-than-life action scenes. The actors recently came together to do a photoshoot."
Apart from Ali Abbas Zafar stepping in as the director, the film is expected to go on floors once Ali is done with the work on his current assignment with Shahid Kapoor.
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar has an array of line-up including Prithviraj, Ram Setu, Bachchan Pandey, Gorkha, Ratsasan remake, Mission Cinderella, Raksha Bandhan. Tiger Shroff, on the other hand, has Heropanti 2, Baaghi 4, and Ganapath Part 1. Ali Abbas Zafar has two projects lined up - one with Katrina Kaif and another one with Shahid Kapoor.
