Ali Abbas Zafar has little time for a breather. While the shoot of his next with Shahid Kapoor, tentatively titled `Bloody Daddy`, has been wrapped up, the director was busy with the release of Diljit Dosanjh-starrer `Jogi` until last week. Now, it’s time for him to focus on the reboot of `Bade Miyan Chote Miyan`. The film, on its announcement in February, had generated much interest, owing to its leading men—it will see Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff share screen space for the first time.  

The director reveals that he wanted to make a high-octane action thriller by bringing the two heroes together. “I wanted to make a cool action film with two of the most celebrated action heroes [in Bollywood]. Akshay sir has been [exploring] the genre for a long time, and Tiger is a new kid on the block who is creating waves with his style of [stunts]. So, my idea is to bring the old and new school together, and create some cool hand-to-hand combat and action sequences,” says Zafar, evidently excited at the possibilities that the new project presents.
