Tiger Shroff Hails Akshay Kumar As India's Tom Cruise, Says 'I Used To Think...'
In a recent interview, Tiger Shroff once again drew parallels between his Bade Miyan Chote Miyan co-star Akshay Kumar and Tom Cruise . Reflecting on his experience working with Akshay, Tiger expressed profound gratitude for the opportunity, citing Akshay Kumar as a childhood idol. He shared that collaborating with the Khiladi superstar on the sets of BMCM provided him with invaluable learning experiences.
At the India Today Conclave 2024, Tiger expressed, “he most special thing was to work with the original action hero, our very own Tom Cruise, Mr Akshay Kumar. I have grown up idolising him and now actually sharing the screen with him, I am very grateful. I have learnt a lot from him and there’s a lot to learn from him. I got to see him up close and personal, got to spend a lot of time with him on and off the screen.”
“I used to think I wake up early. I generally wake up at 6 or 6:30 am but sir wakes up at 4:30 am. I used to get wake up calls from him and we used to do our exercise together before the shoot,” the actor added.
Tiger Shroff's comparison of Akshay Kumar to India's Tom Cruise is not new. Last month, during a promotional event in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, the two actors were present for the film's promotion, where Tiger once again lauded Akshay, stating, “I think it is a matter of great pride because I remember Tom Cruise doing these amazing stunts in Mission Impossible and we have our own Indian Tom Cruise here who has done these kinds of stunts years back.”
The original Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, directed by David Dhawan, featured Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda in the titular roles and was released in 1998. In contrast, the new Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was announced in February 2023. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar and produced by Pooja Entertainment and AAZ Films, the film is anticipated to become the biggest blockbuster of 2024.
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is set to release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release this year on Eid.
