‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. It stars Akshay, Tiger Shroff and Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran in a prominent role. There are also reports that Jahnvi Kapoor also has a role in the film.

The makeup artist talked about the incident to Aaj tak. He said, ‘I had come to drop my friend from the bike. It was a little further from the shoot location and a pig crossed the road. I thought of getting out of here quickly. As soon as I increased the speed of the bike, I saw that a leopard was running after the pig. My bike collided with the leopard. After that, all I remember is that I fell from the bike and the leopard was roaming around me, then I don't remember anything. I had been unconscious. Later people probably came and took me to the doctor.’

President of All India Cine Workers (AICWA), Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, has requested the governement to take strict measures. He said, ‘Realising the seriousness of the matter, I have also tagged the Chief Minister and told them that such an incident has happened many times. As the President of All India Cine Workers, I demand to know who will guarantee the safety from the leopard that comes again and again in Film City, where thousands of shoots take place. I want the government to pay attention to this matter. Filmcity has been built on three hundred acres. If you visit here at night, there is no facility of even street lights. There is a lack of lights and because of which accidents are happening continuously. The matter is near the helipad area, where the shooting of Akshay's film was going on.’
