Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’ Bade Miyan Chote Miyan have been trying to maintain a certain pace at the box office. However, the film has been on the radar since it was released on Eid, a festival that has been used to its maximum potential to churn out box office numbers by Salman Khan.
BMCM, helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar, is Akshay Kumar’s Eid release after Bhool Bhulaiyaa in 2007. At the same time, Tiger Shroff had an Eid release in 2022 with Heropanti 2. Meanwhile, the director has the record for the highest Eid opening with his film Bharat, starring Salman Khan.
A lot of debate around Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff‘s action-biggie is due to it being touted as one of the costliest action films ever made. While the exact budget of the film is not known and confirmed by the producers, a major chunk might have gone to bring in the massive star cast.
Prithviraj Sukumaran played the negative lead in the film, and the south superstar has reportedly been offered 5 crore to play the antagonist in the film. According to a report by Zee News, he was paid 4 crore for his role in Salaar.
Khiladi Kumar was paid almost 1500% more than the antagonist in the film. According to a report by Financial Express via Lehrein Retro, Akshay was paid 80 crore for his role in the film. Much lower than his regular fee of almost 100– 120 crore for a film.
