Prithviraj Sukumaran as Pralay in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan
Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran has revealed how he at first thought he wouldn’t be able to do Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The actor recently opened in an interview, he shared that it was director Prashanth Neel who convinced him not to let go of the film. The film features Prithviraj in an intriguing villainous role. He plays the character named Pralay. He is an AI Scientist in the movie.
Prashant Neel convinced him
Prithviraj said, “While shooting for the climax of Salaar, I was talking to Prashanth about this nice and wonderful script that Ali Abbas Zafar narrated to me. I told him that I’ve been offered a role in the film but I won’t be able to do it because of date issues. I spoke to Prashanth for about 20 minutes about the film and the script. That’s when he told me that it really looks like I want to do it. He said, ‘Knowing you, if you really let it go, you’ll feel rotten.’ And he was absolutely right. If I wasn’t a part of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, I would’ve been kicking myself after watching it.”
He shared more details
“Unfortunately, I was doing two films at the same time, which I usually never do. In the Malayalam industry, we don’t have the practice of doing multiple films together. When we start a film, we stick with it until we finish it and then move onto another one. But thankfully, things moved around a bit. Ali also adjusted a little which helped me do the film. I’m glad I could do it because it’s a very good film,” he added.

Akshay Kumar shoots despite having leg injury
Akshay while shooting an intense scene broke his leg according to producer Jackky Bhagnani. The latter was quoted in a report by Miss Malini as he told, “Sir hurt his leg while shooting ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.’ Koi dusra actor hota toh bolta, ‘Main packup karunga’ (Had it been any other actor, he would have requested for packup). But he finished the whole film with a broken leg.” Akshay reacted to the same and pointed out, “Maine apne producer ke aakhon mein aansu dekhe, so…(I saw my producer teary-eyed, so…)”.
Tiger Shroff thanked the makers
Tiger had recently thanked his producers at the trailer launch of their film and said, “Thank you to Vashu ji, Jackky Bhagnani, and Deepshikha for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. It was actually Jackky who got me on board and told me I was going to star alongside Akshay sir. Thank you so much.” For the unversed, this the first time that Akshay and Tiger are working together.
