Bollywood celebrities Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff are preparing to debut their forthcoming action thriller, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Ali Abbas Zafar directed the film, which also includes South actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, Manushi Chillar, Alaya F, Sonakshi Sinha, and Ronit Roy in lead roles.
Originally scheduled for April 10, the film’s official release date has been pushed back by one day. Now, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan will be released in theatres on April 11.
The decision to postpone the film was taken just two days before its intended release date, because Eid fell a day later. Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff announced the news to their followers in an Instagram video on Monday. In the video, both actors can be seen sitting in their cars, clutching handheld microphones.
Akshay said, “Good evening everyone, main aur Tiger is waqt Abu Dhabi mein hai aur hum log yahan apni film ki promotion karne aaye hue hain…to yahan hume Sheikh Nahyan ke yahan se invitation aaya tha Iftar ke liye..to hum unse milne bhi gye the…bohot maza aaya bohot achaa bhi laga…aur wahan hi hume pata chala ki jo Eid hai…wo UAE ne declare kar diya hai ki wo 10 April ko hai…matlab Hindustan mein 11 April ko.”
Tiger joined, saying, “Aur humne hamesha se kaha hai ki Bade Miyan Chote Miyan Eid par hi aegi..aur apna promise barkaraar rakhte hue hum aap sab se apke nazdeeki cinema hall mein 11 April ko hi milenge.”
Akshay concluded the video stating, “Bade Miyan aur Chote Miyan ki taraf se aap sabhi ko advance mein hi Eid Mubarak.”
The film was set to conflict with actor Ajay Devgn’s period sports drama Maidaan on April 10. On Monday, Ajay also revealed the new release date for his flick. while there’s a twist: Maidaan will host special paid previews of the film on April 10 beginning at 6 p.m., while the official release date for the Ajay Devgn movie is April 11.
There will be no special paid previews for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
