Take
a
look
at
the
pictures
of
the
actor
meeting
the
Chief
Minister.
Akshay
Kumar
is
currently
shooting
for
the
Ratsasan
remake
in
Mussorie
alongside
Rakul
Preet
Singh.
The
Phir
Hera
Pheri
actor
will
also
be
shooting
for
the
film
in
Dehradun.
Talking
about
the
2018
movie
Ratsasan,
it
revolved
around
a
brutal
and
terrifying
serial
killer
who
viciously
hunts
down
and
kills
young
school
girls.
The
movie
starred
Vishnu
Vishal,
Amala
Paul
and
Saravanan
in
the
lead
roles.
Meanwhile,
producer
Vashu
Bhagnani
and
Pooja
Entertainment
recently
announced
the
movie
Bade
Miyan
Chote
Miyan
that
will
see
Akshay
Kumar
star
opposite
Tiger
Shroff.
The
announcement
sent
the
fans
into
a
frenzy
to
see
the
two
biggest
action
stars
of
the
industry
come
together
for
the
ambitious
project.
The
movie
will
be
directed
by
Ali
Abbas
Zafar.
Even
though
the
movie's
title
is
similar
to
the
hit
Amitabh
Bachchan-Govinda
1998
comedy
film,
the
makers
have
clarified
that
it
is
not
a
remake.
The
film
is
touted
to
be
an
action-comedy
with
some
larger-than-life
action
sequences.
Producer
Vashu
Bhagnani
said
in
a
statement,
"It's
a
film
very
close
to
my
heart
as
it
brought
together
two
legends
Amit
Ji
and
Govinda
and
was
directed
by
my
favourite
Davidji.
It
is
heartening
to
see
my
Chote
Miyan
Jackky
recreate
that
magic
along
with
Ali
Abbas
Zafar
who
has
a
brilliant
vision
for
the
film.
I
am
so
humbled
to
have
Akshay
Kumar
and
Tiger
Shroff
be
our
Bade
Miyan
and
Chote
Miyan
for
a
new
generation
of
audiences
in
2023."
