Akshay and Tiger Shroff at the trailer launch event
New Delhi:
Akshay Kumar made a big headline while teasing Bade Miyan Chote Miyan co-star Tiger Shroff mentioning his ex-girlfriend Disha Patani’s name (indirectly) at the trailer launch of the film. Akshay Kumar was asked to give advice for Tiger Shroff. To this, Akshay said, “Mein Tiger se yahi kahunga ki, Tiger hamesha ek hi DISHA me Raha Karo (I will tell Tiger, ‘Keep your eyes in one direction only’).” Akshay’s deliberate pun on the word “Disha” resonated with the audience present and they laughed loudly. Even Akshay Kumar started laughing as soon as he finished his words. The video is already extremely viral. For context, Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff were reportedly dating some time ago. They have not made their breakup public. However, Tiger called himself ‘single’ in an episode of Koffee With Karan 7. Take a look:
Meanwhile, on the occasion of Holi, Disha Patani joined Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff at a party hosted by the Bade Miyan at his home. Disha shared a video on her Instagram in which Tiger and Akshay are seen applying colors on Disha. Disha wrote in the caption, ‘Happy holi.’ Look:
Tiger and Akshay have been actively sharing funny videos to promote their film. A few days ago, they shared a video showing the two actors in a swimming pool. In the clip, Tiger Shroff can be seen asking Akshay, “Hey Bade, ek race ho jaye kya waha (other side of the pool) tak?” At this, Akshay gets up and starts preparing for the race. Well well. Here comes the twist. As soon as Akshay dives into the pool, Tiger Shroff runs to the other side with all his strength and jumps into the water. The actor then acts like a winner. Don’t miss Akshay’s reaction. He looks shocked. Tiger Shroff shared the video and wrote, “Hisaab barabar bade, Akshay Kumar.” Reacting to the post, Akshay said, “Hisaab barabar nahi Chote, hisaab yunhi chalta rahega. (Hey brother, this doesn’t end here.)”. Look:
The trailer of Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was released on Tuesday. The trailer is packed with high-octane action scenes. Akshay and Tiger, who introduce themselves in the trailer as “Dil se soldier en dimag se shaitan” (soldiers in the heart and evil in the head), take on the menacing masked villain Praloy (played by Prithviraj Sukumaran). Praloy has stolen the most powerful weapon any country has ever produced and that will require a deadly war. Meanwhile, Bade Miyan and Chote Miyan, who are fighting together for the security of the nation, face an existential crisis where they can be heard saying, “Hum dono ek duje ke liye jaan de bhi sakte hai, jaan le bhi sakte hain (We can sacrifice our lives for each other and we can also take lives from each other).” ICYMI, watch the trailer here:
The film is slated to release on Eid and will clash with Ajay Devgn’s sports drama Maidaan at the box office.
