Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff arrive at Umang 2023 in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan style, riding on top of a police van; pictures inside

Turns out the Umang 2023 night turned out to be a hotbed for reunions and, to be transparent about it all, promotions. While there were stars walking the red carpet, including Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, and others to salute the Mumbai Police, there were also film reunions and spottings happening at the venue. While Ranbir Kapoor and Bobby Deol had a moment on the red carpet as they had a mini "Animal" reunion, Akshay Kumar marked his attendance with a video also featuring Tiger Shroff giving a build-up to "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan."

For the uninitiated, Akshay and Tiger are joining forces to star in the remake of the hit "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan," which starred Amitabh Bachchan with Govinda and was directed and written by David Dhawan. The movie has been in the making for a while now. The makers have already shared the release date and even some posters and a teaser before they went on floors. The remake is being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, who last directed Shahid Kapoor’s "Bloody Daddy."

Akshay Kumar took to Instagram and shared a reel of him and Tiger Shroff from Umang 2023. The two can be seen indulging in a conversation as they walk. The actor used the titled track of "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan" in the background. The caption for the same read, “Always fun catching up with my Chote Miyan, @tigerjackieshroff, be it for Umang, volleyball, or #BadeMiyanChoteMiyan 😁 In theaters this #Eid2024.” Other videos also show that the two entered the stage of Umang standing in a police van, and the audience went gaga over them. The internet is full of reactions to the same.
