Few months back, filmmaker Jackky Bhagnani astonished everyone by announcing his upcoming action thriller 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff. This casting alone is enough to lure audience into theatres but makers want to leave no stone unturned in the production. Buzz suggests that 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' is going to be the most expensive film of Akshay's career.

The film is set to release on Christmas 2023 and has an estimated budget of 300 crores. A source close to the production told Pinkvilla, “Ali Abbas Zafar and his creative team are planning to mount this as one of the biggest action thrillers of Bollywood. The production cost for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan will be around Rs 120 crore, which is the highest ever for an Akshay Kumar film till date. Ali is working on the pre-production right now, designing the stunt scenes keeping the capabilities of Akshay and Tiger in mind."

Few reports have also suggested that 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' might be a remake of Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda's 1999 film of same name. However, it seems that it's not true. The source added, "There is a talk about the film being a remake of the 1999 original fronted by Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda, but that’s not the case as Ali has written a complete new script."
