Ali Abbas Zafar: Bade Miyan is a brand new movie, it has nothing to do with the old one -Exclusive | Hindi Movie News

Earlier today, Ali Abbas Zafar revealed that his upcoming action movie Bade Miyan starring Tiger Shroff and Akshay Kumar has not been shelved, as some outlets have reported. While addressing the rumors, ETimes reached out to the filmmaker to find out more about the idea behind the film which borrows its title from David Dhawan’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan starring Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda.

Revealing the title similarity, Ali said, “Our film Bade Miyan is a completely new film. It has nothing to do with the old one.” One of the main highlights of the film will be the pairing of two true action stars, Tiger and Akshay Kumar. Talking about the prospects for his high-octane movie, Ali said, “It will be a big action movie. Right now we are preparing for it and we will start shooting by the end of the year. ”

David Dhawan’s comedy was based on mistaken identity and lookalikes. It featured memorable comedy sets featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda. Ali’s film, meanwhile, will rely on the action and athletic skills of its stars – Tiger and Akshay. Ali has dabbled in the action genre before in movies like Gunday and Tiger Zinda Hai.
