While fans await the release of Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s version of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, producer Vashu Bhagnani was recently asked about the belief that in the original 1998 film, Govinda had overshadowed Amitabh Bachchan. Vashu agreed to this and also revealed Amitabh Bachchan’s reaction.
In a recent interview with Connect FM Canada, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan producer Vashu Bhagnani said, “Yes, that’s correct. The whole world used to say this, and if the whole world felt this way, who am I to say otherwise? But the fact is that if Amit Ji wasn’t in the film, Govinda wouldn’t have had the opportunity to shine like he did. It was because of Amit ji that Govinda garnered more appreciation.”
He continued, “I shouldn’t say this openly, but one day, Amit ji said, ‘Yaar maidaan agar khol do hum dono dekhte hain kya hoga (Level the playing field, and then we’ll see what happens).’ But Amit Ji has a different sophistication, and Govinda had his own style. Together, the pair was too good. They could just stand silently and the job would be done.”
The original Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was directed by David Dhawan. It starred Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda in titular roles and was released in 1998. On the other hand, the new Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was announced in February 2023. Helmed by the celebrated director Ali Abbas Zafar and backed by Pooja Entertainment and AAZ Films, the film promises to be the biggest blockbuster of 2024.
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. The film is scheduled to be released in theatres on April 10 this year. The film also stars Manushi Chhillar and Alaya F in key roles. Prithviraj Sukumaran will play the antagonist in the film. He is currently seen in Aadujeevitham — The Goat Life.
