Recalling a conversation with Jackky Bhagnani, Ali said that he received a call when he was shooting in Abu Dhabi and said that he had something that the filmmaker could not refuse. “He said, do you like making action films? I said yes. I like making action films. So just imagine if, in an action film, I get you Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff together,” Zafar revealed.

Ali revealed, “He said that it's my father's dream to call this film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. So I said, you've got such a great offer served on a platter to me. I would respect that. So when you watch the film you will understand why it is called BMCM, but it is very special how it comes in the film."
Set to premiere on Eid, April 10, the film also stars Manushi Chhillar and Alaya F in pivotal roles.
