The budget of BMCM is expected to be 350 crore, taking into account the wages of Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff and Ali Abbas Zafar and making it one of the costliest Hindi films till date.

Ali Abbas Zafar scored a casting coup by bringing together two action stars, Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, for an action-packed thriller. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, a Vashu and Jackky Bhagnani production, is set to go on floors by the end of this year for a Christmas 2023 release. It’s one of the most expensive action thrillers of the year, with an estimated budget of Rs 300 crore.

Source revealed, “Ali Abbas Zafar and his creative team are planning to mount this as one of the biggest action thrillers of Bollywood. The production cost for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan will be around Rs 120 crore, which is the highest ever for an Akshay Kumar film till date. Ali is working on the pre-production right now, designing the stunt scenes keeping the capabilities of Akshay and Tiger in mind,”

The COP for most Akshay Kumar films released in the recent two years, as well as those in the works, ranges from Rs 35 to 60 crore (without his fees), whereas BMCM is two to three times higher.

The action’s highlight of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and not just Ali, but even Akshay, Tiger and the Bhagnani’s are aware of the expectations.

Insider added, “There is a talk about the film being a remake of the 1999 original fronted by Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda, but that’s not the case as Ali has written a complete new script.”

While the production costs are estimated to be approximately 120 crore, the two actors and the director are paid between 200 and 210 crore. A significant portion of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan will be filmed in London.

BMCM’s overall budget, including marketing costs, is expected to be in the neighborhood of Rs 350 crore, making it one of the most expensive Hindi films ever. The year 2023 will be a treat for action fans, with Shah Rukh Khan kicking off the year with Sidharth Anand’s Pathan, followed by Salman Khan’s high budget blockbuster, Tiger, on Eid. In October, Hrithik Roshan returns to the action genre with Fighter, and the year comes to a close with Akshay Kumar and Tiger in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. On Independence Day weekend, there’s a good chance Ajay Devgn will reprise his role as Bajirao Singham in Singham 3.
