Jackky Bhagnani on the failure of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan: “The content didn’t resonate with the audience, We have mortgaged our properties to make this film”

Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was expected to be the biggest hit of 2024, but it ended up being the year's biggest failure. Now, producer Jackky Bhagnani has spoken out about the film’s disappointing performance and the controversies it sparked.

In an interview with SCREEN, the actor-producer discussed the film's failure and the emotional impact it had on him. He revealed that his family had to mortgage properties in order to finance the project.

Jackky shared, “For me, it has been a huge learning. We invested a lot of money and I realised that just scale is not good enough. Somewhere, we felt that the content that was made didn’t resonate with the audience at all. The public is always right. If didn’t resonate then I have to go back to the drawing board and understand why did this piece of content didn’t resonate with the audience. I have to take that with a pinch of salt and not make that mistake in the future. I would like to say that the returns are not even less than 50%. I don’t think anyone can understand what our pain was. As a family, we have mortgaged our properties to make this film. We realise that there is no point in saying anything or speaking anything.”

He continued, “We invested with faith, hoping a good piece of content is made and the audience will like it. The honest truth is all of this is noise, if the film did well, no controversy would have happened. It is not my nature to take sides but all I would like to say is it was tough times and it is very important that we should all be very conscious of each other’s money.”

Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff teamed up for the first time in the action-packed film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Despite a hefty budget, the movie failed to attract audiences after its opening day and ultimately finished its box office run with a disappointing Rs.102.16 crore. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film ended up as one of the biggest flops of 2024. It also starred Prithviraj Sukumaran, Alaya F, and Manushi Chillar.

Following the film’s release, several crew members accused Pooja Entertainment of failing to clear their payments on time. A report by Bollywood Hungama revealed that the production company’s seven-floor office in Mumbai was sold to settle a Rs. 250 crore debt, amid mounting financial troubles.
