Bade Miya Chote Miyan 1+1 Promotion Fails to Spark Interest

The revival of the classic comedy duo Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in “Bade Miyan Chote Miyaan” seems to have hit a snag. The film’s attempt to woo audiences with a “buy one, get one free” ticket offer failed to generate significant interest, raising concerns about the movie’s commercial prospects though it has touched ₹100 crores gross mark already.

This promotional strategy, often employed to boost ticket sales for opening weekends, appears to have backfired for “Bade Miyan Chote Miyaan.” Industry experts speculate that factors like lacklustre trailers or competition from other releases might be dampening audience enthusiasm to buy tickets for this Akshay-Tiger starrer. While coffers filled up to ₹100 crores gross, that wouldn’t be sufficient as the film’s budget is more than ₹300 crores.

The film serves as a sequel to the 1998 hit of the same name, originally starring Govinda and Ram Kapoor. Replicating the magic of the original has proven a challenge, though Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff are known for their box office pull, even their star power seems insufficient to overcome the current lull.

Even the glam dose of Manushi Chillar and Alaya F, along with Prithviraj Sukumaran’s villainy failed to click. The coming days will be crucial for “Bade Miyan Chote Miyaan” as it attempts to turn things around and find its footing at the box office.

From Actor to Exhibitor: Ravi Teja’s Big Move

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja, who debuted 35 years ago in the 1990 movie ‘Karthavyam’, has come a long way. After starting his career as Chakravarthy’s friend in the film, he has become a top hero himself, delivering multiple movies a year and working with fresh heroines. He even lends his voice for special roles. But Ravi Teja isn’t stopping there. He’s now venturing into a new field: exhibition.

The popular actor has joined forces with leading film production, distribution, and exhibition company Asian Cinemas for this exciting new project. Their multiplex, named ART Cinemas, is under construction in Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad. A formal puja ceremony was held recently to mark the launch of the project. Several dignitaries were present at the ceremony, including Asian Cinemas head Sunil Narang, family members of both Narang and Teja, and young hero Abhiram Daggubati.

ART Cinemas promises to be a state-of-the-art facility. The multiplex will boast 6 screens equipped with the latest audio and video technology, ensuring an immersive cinematic experience for moviegoers.

While Ravi Teja embarks on this new venture, his acting career continues to flourish. He was recently seen in the action drama ‘Eagle’ and is currently busy filming ‘Mr. Bachchan’ under the direction of Harish Shankar. He also has another project lined up with director Anudeep KV, known for his hit film ‘Jathi Ratnalu’.
