The upcoming Hindi movie is slated to release in cinemas on April 10, coinciding with Eid 2024. The movie also stars actresses Sonakshi Sinha, Alaya F and Manushi Chhillar.

For the unversed, Ali Abbas Zafar and Katrina Kaif have collaborated with each other for films like ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’, ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ and ‘Bharat’.
“Katrina is always on my mind when it comes to making any film. If I don’t cast her, she calls and tells me, ‘Why aren’t you taking me in your film?’ She said the same this time around too. Whenever I’ve worked with her, we’ve always shared a great bond as a director-actor duo,” Ali Abbas Zafar told News18 Showsha.
“I feel there’s a lot of potential in her as an actor. Be it Bharat, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan or Tiger Zinda Hai, she has done some really good work with me. Every time I make a film, the first call I get is from Katrina where she complains about me not casting her. She often asks, ‘Why am I not being offered this film?” he added.
When asked if Katrina Kaif was the first choice for ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, Ali Abbas Zafar said, “She couldn’t do our film because she was busy with something else. I just hope that she keeps her dates free for my next film.”
Earlier, when the trailer of ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ was released, Katrina Kaif had taken to her Instagram Stories to give a shout-out to the film.
Coming back to ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, the film has been backed by Jackky Bhagnani, Vashu Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, Ali Abbas Zafar, and Himanshu Kishan Mehra under the banners of Pooja Entertainment, and AAZ Films.
