Vashu Bhagnani calls making Bade Miyan Chote Miyan with Ali Abbas Zafar his ‘biggest mistake': He didn't understand…
Vashu Bhagnani says Akshay-Tiger's Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was not good
In a rapid-fire round, when Vashu was asked about his thoughts on Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Vashu said he wanted to undo the film from his filmography and added, "Bahut acchi film thi pehli waali, Amitabh Bachchan aur Govinda waali. Second waali theek nahi thi (The first one, the one with Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda, was a very good film. The second one wasn't that great)."
Vashu Bhagnani calls working with Ali Abbas Zafar a mistake
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was a 1998 film produced by Vashu and directed by David Dhawan. The comedy caper starred Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda. In 2024, the filmmaker used the same title for an action film, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.
Vashu expressed his wish to make Bade Miyan Chote Miyan again with David Dhawan and added, "I made the biggest mistake by making Bade Miyan Chote Miyan Part 2 with Ali Abbas Zafar. He didn't understand the title. We got tired of telling him that this is a comedy film, you can add action, but at least make it an action-comedy. It was such a beautiful brand of mine; people wanted to come to the theatres just because of the title. When I make it again, I'll get Rumi Jaffery ji to write the story, and if David Dhawan ji doesn't direct it, I'll ask him to produce it with me, because his mind works fast when it comes to comedy."
About Bade Miyan Chote Miyan
The 1998 Bade Miyan Chote Miyan featured Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda in double roles, along with Raveena Tandon, Ramya Krishnan, Anupam Kher, and Paresh Rawal. The film was a massive hit at the box office despite clashing with Karan Johar's Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
The filmmaker wanted to recreate the magic again in 2024 with a film of the same title, starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, along with Prithviraj Sukumaran, Manushi Chhillar, and Alaya F. However, instead of action-comedy, this time it was science-fiction action. The film received mixed-to-negative responses upon release. Made on a budget of ₹350 crore, the film failed to draw audiences after its first day and ended its theatrical run at ₹111.5 crore worldwide.

These 2 Actors Were In Demand In 1990s. Today, One's A Star But The Other Walked Away
Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sana Saeed both began their journeys in Bollywood as child artists nearly 27 years ago. You may recall Sana Saeed as Shah Rukh Khan's daughter in the 1998 film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, while Fatima Sana Shaikh had a brief appearance in Aamir Khan's Ishq (1997). Over the decades, their career paths have taken different turns. Today, Fatima Sana Shaikh is regarded as a prominent name in the film industry. She gained widespread acclaim for her portrayal in Aamir Khan's Dangal (2016), a film that brought her international recognition. However, her career actually began earlier, with appearances in Chachi 420 (1997) and One Two Ka 4 (2001) as a child actor. Since Dangal, she has consistently featured in films and is now firmly established as one of Bollywood's notable talents. Recently, she appeared opposite R Madhavan in Aap Jaisa Koi (2025), which premiered directly on Netflix. Fatima Sana Shaikh has also made a mark in the OTT space, with roles in Ludo (2020), Ajeeb Daastaans (2021), Modern Love Mumbai (2022), and most notably as Indira Gandhi in the 2023 biographical drama Sam Bahadur. After her memorable debut in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Sana Saeed went on to act in other Bollywood films such as Badal (2000), Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega (2000), Student of the Year (2012), and Fugly (2014). She also ventured into television, balancing roles across both mediums. However, she eventually stepped back from the film industry to focus primarily on TV. Despite her efforts, she did not achieve the level of success she had once hoped for and has since distanced herself from acting altogether. In her personal life, Sana Saeed got engaged to her long-term boyfriend, Csaba Wagner, a Hungarian sound designer based in Los Angeles, in January 2023. Although she is no longer active in films or television, she maintains a presence on Instagram, where she shares glamorous photos and pictures with her fiancé. At the age of 36, Sana Saeed remains in excellent shape and continues to connect with fans through her social media posts.
