While the Hindi film industry had been going through a rough patch ever since the Covid-19 pandemic hit, SRK’s Pathaan, and his subsequent release Jawan, reinvigorated the struggling film industry. Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal was also one of the highest earning films last year, as it raked in Rs 900 crore worldwide.

However, the last two films released by the Bhagnanis’ Pooja Entertainment — Mission Raniganj and Ganapath — were both box office duds.

Bade Miyan Chote Miya director Ali Abbas Zafar recently opened up about the huge budget of the film, in an interview with indianexpress.com. He called Bade Miyan Chote Miyan “very ambitious” as it is reportedly mounted on a humongous budget of Rs 350 crore. He said that films that are mounted on such huge budgets also put a lot of pressure on him as a filmmaker and the star-cast.

Talking about the pressure, he said, “Budget is the biggest pressure that the actors and the makers of the film always feel because today when you want your product to look international, classy and at a level where people say it’s a visual spectacle, you need to spend that much money. If you want to do bike stunts and each bike costs Rs 4 lakh and if the stunt goes wrong, your immediately lose Rs 4 lakh. If you are blowing up a car which is worth Rs 30-40 lakh and if the stunt doesn’t go as planned, straightaway lose that much money. There are stunts in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan where the spend on one day was Rs 3-4 crores — with all the paraphernalia and all the technicians of all the choppers — everything together was very expensive.”

Along with Akshay and Tiger, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan also stars Aadujeevitham (The Goat Life) fame Prithviraj Sukumaran, Sonakshi Sinha, Manushi Chhillar and Alaya F.
