On wrapping up Bloody Daddy with Shahid Kapoor, he will commence work on the pre-production of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. He has a certain vision, and is planning to present both Akshay and Tiger in the most heroic possible way,” revealed a source close to the development, adding further that Ali’s emotions are always rooted in reality, and he understands the aspects that excite the audience as far as presentation of a story is concerned.

The film will go on floors by late 2022, early 2023 depending on the Covid-19 scenario and is at this point of time planned as a massive festive release in the second half of 2023. Contrary to the speculations, it is not the remake of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, but an action comedy centered around these two characters portrayed by Akshay and Tiger. “It’s more on the lines of Bad Boys, than Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,” the source informed, adding further that action aside, comedy too will play a key role in this story.
The film in question will be produced by the Bhagnani’s under their banner, Pooja Entertainment. “The Bhagnani’s have been planning to set up a big two hero film with Akshay for a while now. They were toying around with multiple ideas and it's finally Bade Miyan Chote Miyan that has been greenlit by AK,” the source added. According to the source, the other subjects that were offered to Akshay include the official remakes of Burning Train, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
While the producers were looking to make Burning Train with Akshay and Sidharth Malhotra, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan remake was pitched as a comedy that brings Akshay and Varun Dhawan together. But finally, Akshay has gone ahead with the title Bade Miyan Chote Miyan in the action-comedy
