 "Ali Abbas Zafar reveals he kept 'calling Prithviraj in the middle of the night' for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan: 'Akshay Kumar & Tiger Shroff felt like junior artists...'")
Blockbuster filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar, who is gearing up for the release of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, revealed that getting Prithviraj Sukumaran on board was a tough task for him due to his hectic schedule. The director also shared that the film revolves around him rather than Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff.
“There’s a reason why Prithvi is in the film. His character is so important in it. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is a three-hero film and not a two-hero film. He’s an anti-hero but the way he’s mounted in the film and his character graph is, it’s clear that the film is his story rather than Bade Miyan and Chote Miyan’s,” said the filmmaker in a conversation with News18.
The filmmaker recalled his narration session with Prithviraj and said, “I’ve never been so jittery during a narration because I really wanted him to do the film. I knew that if he says a no, I wouldn’t have anyone else to fall back on. But Prithvi gave me a carrot and took it away as he said that he loved the script but won’t be able to do it because he didn’t have the dates.”
Post that, Ali continuously called and messaged Prithviraj until he finally came on board. “I kept calling and messaging him in the middle of the night and in early mornings saying, ‘Prithvi, I really want you to do it.’ I told him that I would change Akshay and Tiger’s dates to accommodate his schedule,” revealed the filmmaker.
Spilling the beans on one of the funny incidents, Ali revealed, “Prithvi would only come on the set only for four hours since he was shooting for two other really big films. And when he would be there, Akshay sir and Tiger used to tell me that they felt like junior artists because all the attention would be on him (laughs).”
_Bade Miyan Chote Miyan_ is set to hit the screens on 10th April and will lock horns with Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan at the box office.
