Speaking at the trailer launch, actor turned producer Jackky Bhagnani revealed that Akshay Kumar shot some scenes with a broken leg.

Akshay Kumar on jumping from one genre to another

Speaking at the trailer launch, Akshay Kumar revealed he loves to jump from one genre to another as he himself gets bored by doing the same thing. Akshay said: "I don't like to stick to one genre. I like jumping from one genre to another, whether success or not, I have always done that from the beginning of my career and nothing has stopped me. I will keep doing that, something which is social, something which is comedy, something which is action, I will keep doing different genres."

Akshay, who was last seen in Mission Raniganj, shared: "Today if people say comedy and action films are in trend, that doesn't mean I should only be doing that. I myself get bored doing one thing." Presented by Vashu Bhagnani and Pooja Entertainment in association with AAZ films, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is written and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, and produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, Jackky Bhagnani, Himanshu Kishan Mehra, and Ali Abbas Zafar.
