The much-hyped Ali Abbas Zafar directorial, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, went on floors on Saturday. 

Starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff as the titular characters, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan features Prithviraj Sukumaran as the antagonist. 

Backed by Pooja Entertainment, the makers — Vashu Bhagnani and Jackky Bhagnani — took to social media to announce the commencement of the shoot. 

Incidentally, the title is taken from the 1998 David Dhawan film, which featured Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda, in the lead roles. 

Earlier, Jackky called Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, his banner's biggest and most ambitious project. 

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is scheduled to be released on Christmas this year.
