Vashu Bhagnani on whether he feels pressure considering the fate of Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s recent films
During a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Vashu Bhagnani opened up about his upcoming biggie Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Talking about whether he feels pressure because the recent films of both Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff didn’t work at the box office, he said that it all depends on film to film, and since both of them are brilliant actors it doesn’t matter.
Giving an example of Shah Rukh Khan, he said that the superstar was struggling for the past few years but had a grand comeback in 2023 with Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. “Shah Rukh Khan se bada koi example nahin hai. Bechare ki 5-7 saalon se ek bhi picture nahin chali thi. (There is no bigger example than Shah Rukh Khan. None of his films worked in the past 5-7 years). And look how he bounced back in 2023. All his three films – Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki – were super-duper hits.” he said.

Talking about how he managed to bring Akshay & Tiger together for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Vashu Bhagnani said that it was hard but they managed to do it because of the title and the reputation of director Ali Abbas Zafar. He also added that Akshay is a family because the Bhagnani family shares a deep bond with him and Jackky Bhagnani is close to Tiger which helped in casting them for a film.
