He mentioned that he said yes to ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ because he wanted to work with Akshay Kumar.

The actor said, “The most special thing was to work with the original action hero, our very own Tom Cruise, Mr. Akshay Kumar. I have grown up idolizing him and now actually sharing the screen with him, I am very grateful. I have learned 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.”
