The film, which is now in pre-production, will go into production soon, most likely after the third wave of the pandemic has passed. According to reports, the upcoming action drama would be based on the plot of the 1998 film Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan and will be titled the same. Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda played double roles in Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan, which also featured Raveena Tandon as the female protagonist. The next action thriller will feature high-octane action as well as some comedic elements.
