It is known that the makers of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (BMCM) are looking to up the entertainment quotient of the Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff starrer. Director Ali Abbas Zafar has reportedly done a recce to shoot the film in the UK, the Alps, and Saudi Arabia. With plans afoot to roll cameras in January 2023, the makers are in the process of locking the rest of the cast. We hear that Janhvi Kapoor has been finalised as Tiger’s leading lady. Like his previous directorial ventures, BMCM, too, has ample scope for the heroines with larger-than-life characters. As for Akshay’s leading lady, sources tell us that an A-lister will be confirmed by this month-end. Given the high stakes of the film, the cast, production values and execution will be top-notch to lure in the audiences to the cinemas. Ali has maintained that despite the same title, his buddy entertainer has nothing to do with David Dhawan’s 1998 comic caper. However, there is a twist in his movie that pays a tribute to the Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda starrer.
