Ali Abbas Zafar opened up recently in an interview to News18 and said that his upcoming film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is a three-hero film and not a two-hero film. The film's director, Ali said that he really wanted Prithviraj Sukumaran to act in it. The film also stars Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Alaya F, Manushi Chhillar, and Sonakshi Sinha in pivotal roles.

Speaking about the character played by Prithviraj in the film, he said, “There’s a reason why Prithvi is in the film. His character is so important in it. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is a three-hero film and not a two-hero film. He’s an anti-hero but the way he’s mounted in the film and his character graph is, it’s clear that the film is his story (sic).”

He added, “I have never been so jittery during a narration because I really wanted him to do the film. I knew that if he says a no, I wouldn’t have anyone else to fall back on. But Prithvi gave me a carrot and took it away as he said that he loves the script but won’t be able to do it because he didn’t have the dates.”

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is presented by Vashu Bhagnani and Pooja Entertainment, in association with AAZ films, and is produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, Jackky Bhagnani, Himanshu Kishan Mehra, and Ali Abbas Zafar. The film is slated to release on April 10.
