Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff are all set to collaborate for the very first time for 'the biggest action entertainer'. The action heroes announced Pooja Films' Bade Miyan Chote Miyan recently with a power-packed announcement teaser. Directed and written by Ali Abbas Zafar, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan will present Akshay as Bade Miyan and Tiger as Chote Miyan. The film will release on Christmas 2023.
The film, after creating much buzz, has now become the first Indian film to be announced on Metaverse. For the unversed, a metaverse is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection. In futurism and science fiction, the term is often described as a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual and augmented reality headsets. Pioneering the movement in India and Indian entertainment is none other than Pooja Entertainment. Pooja Entertainment has bought their First virtual land in the Metaverse becoming the first-ever production house to have stepped into this exciting new universe.
Speaking about Poojaverse and their vision for it, producer Deepshikha Deshmukh said, “Metaverse is the new frontier of the internet. It's a new way to connect and engage with our audiences and fans. People have ended up spending so much time online be it for professional, educational or entertainment purposes. With the increased usage came the simultaneous growth in block chain technology. Metaverse is becoming the future of virtual hangouts and is going to be the new way of consuming content. I am super stoked to have our Biggest and most Ambitious project - Bade Miyan Chote Miyan in the Metaverse. Poojaverse is a step from our end in that very direction. With time and a more nuanced understanding of this virtual space. We intend to make Poojaverse the absolute go-to space for quality entertainment and various aspects of filmmaking in the digital world.”
Talking about their plans to integrate the BadeMiyan ChoteMiyan franchise with the Metaverse experience, producer Jackky Bhagnani said, “I believe that digital domination was always considered as something of the times to come but things changed with the pandemic. A world created as an outcome of this technology and the ideology of digital replication of real life, Metaverse, rules the roost. It is no longer a futuristic idea but one that's already started bearing shape and taking a form that's ever evolving. We are really excited to announce our foray into our very own virtual space - Poojaverse and our next big film BadeMiyan ChoteMiyan - the first ever film from India to showcase its announcement on the Metaverse.”
Akshay and Tiger's Bade Miyan Chote Miyan carries the same name as David Dhawan's film which was made in 1988 with Amitabh Bachchan, Govinda, Raveena Tandon and Ramya Krishnan. However, Ali's version is going to be loaded with action.
