The city of Lucknow was set abuzz when Bollywood superstars Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff descended upon the historical Clock Tower Maidan to promote their upcoming blockbuster, ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’. Known for its serene ambience, the location turned into a hub of excitement and frenzy as fans gathered to witness their favourite actors perform live aerial stunts, an act which ultimately led to an unexpected stampede.
The title ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ has been stirring anticipation among cinema enthusiasts ever since its announcement, with Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff heading the film’s dynamic cast. The promotional event in Lucknow was no less than a spectacle, with both actors making a stunning aerial entry that sent the throngs of onlookers into a whirlwind of excitement, momentarily losing control and leading to a chaotic situation.
The grandeur of the moment was compounded by the title track of the film playing in the background, providing a cinematic experience to those present on the ground. Akshay Kumar had earlier sparked the curiosity of his followers by posting on Instagram about their Lucknow visit. He shared an image alongside Tiger Shroff, both impeccably dress with Akshay in a black hoodie, pants, and white shoes, while Tiger Shroff sported a white jacket with denim and black shoes. The caption teased the fans with a warm invite: “Pehle aap muskuraiye, kyunki Bade aur Chote ab Lucknow mein hain! Milte hain, aaj dopahar, Clock Tower Maidan mein.”
Adding to the promotional buzz, the film’s title track was also launched. Akshay took to Instagram, sharing the song with a catchy line “Tere peeche tera yaar khada”. The music video features the leading duo dancing in complementary khaki green outfits amongst the historic Roman architecture of Jerash Theatre in Abu Dhabi, ensuring a visual spectacle. This new track diverges from the original 1998 movie’s song, only retaining the iconic ‘bade to bade miyan, chote miyan subhanallah’ hook. Anirudh Ravichander and Vishal Mishra lent their voices, Bosco-Caesar provided choreography, and Irshad Kamil penned the lyrics, all combining their talents to create what aims to be a memorable number.
The film, championed by director Ali Abbas Zafar, has been shot extensively across diverse global landscapes including Mumbai, London, Abu Dhabi, Scotland, and Jordan, promising a pan-Indian movie experience clad in Hollywood-style grandeur. The anticipation is not without reason as ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ boasts an impressive supporting cast with the likes of Prithviraj Sukumaran essaying a pivotal antagonist role, flanked by Sonakshi Sinha, Manushi Chhillar, and Alaya F. The teaser of the film has already been met with a positive reception.
Set to release on the festive occasion of Eid in 2024, ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ is heading towards a massive Bollywood box-office clash with Ajay Devgn’s much-talked-about period sports drama ‘Maidaan’. This cinematic showdown is expected to be a major highlight for movie-goers in the coming year.
As fans eagerly await the release of ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, the incident at the Lucknow promotion is a testament to the star power of Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, and an indicator of the colossal excitement surrounding this high-voltage action film. The film industry and audiences alike have their sights set on Eid 2024, which is shaping up to be a landmark moment for Bollywood.
