Renowned actor Akshay Kumar expressed his anticipation regarding his forthcoming movie "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan," aiming for a breakthrough at the box office after facing a dry spell in recent releases, a phase he's encountered during his extensive three-decade career.
The majority of Akshay's recent films, such as "Samrat Prithviraj," "Raksha Bandhan," and "Mission Raniganj," struggled to make a mark commercially, with the exception of "OMG 2," where he played a significant role.
Reflecting on his journey, Akshay revealed his resilience, recalling a time when he faced 16 consecutive setbacks but persevered nonetheless. "Whether it was 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha,' 'Airlift,' 'Rustom,' or numerous other projects I've undertaken... Success and failure are part of the journey," he remarked, emphasizing his unwavering commitment to his craft.
Addressing reporters at the trailer launch of "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan," Akshay shared his optimism about the film's prospects, attributing it to the collective efforts put in by the team. Alongside him, co-stars Tiger Shroff, Manushi Chhillar, Alaya F, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and director Ali Abbas Zafar also graced the event.
In "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan," Akshay and Tiger portray elite soldiers tasked with retrieving a stolen AI weapon, setting the stage for adrenaline-pumping stunts and action-packed sequences.
Recalling his daredevilry over the years, Akshay reminisced about one particularly perilous stunt involving catching a moving airplane and leaping onto a hot air balloon to rescue the female lead. However, he admitted to adopting a more cautious approach now, prioritizing safety over spectacle.
In contrast, Tiger, known for his athleticism and agility, exuded confidence in executing stunts seamlessly, crediting the meticulous preparation facilitated by the proficient team behind the scenes.
For Tiger, sharing the screen with Akshay was a dream come true, as he acknowledged the latter's influence on his career trajectory, particularly in the action genre.
Director Ali Abbas Zafar emphasized the challenge of balancing the star power in a multi-starrer like "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan," underscoring the significance of crafting roles that resonate with each actor's stature.
Prithviraj Sukumaran, envisioning the film's potential as a franchise, likened its narrative structure to iconic action series like James Bond and Mission: Impossible, wherein heroes confront formidable villains to save the world.
Manushi Chhillar, making her action debut in the film, lauded Akshay's mentorship and the opportunity to work alongside seasoned action stars, highlighting the rigorous preparation involved in her role.
With its release scheduled for April 10, "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan," produced by Pooja Entertainment in collaboration with AAZ, promises an exhilarating cinematic experience for audiences this Eid.
