Announcement
Despite same title, it's not a remake of 1998 classic
Reports about the two stars collaborating for the film have been around for some time, but the new version is not going to be a remake of Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda's 1998 classic of the same name. And, the announcement video hints at it too. Shroff and Kumar are shown blowing away goons and this camaraderie seems to focus more on action than comedy.

Information
Franchise is being built, Part I coming on Christmas 2023
If the collaboration of two of the biggest stars was not exciting enough, the 2:11-minute-long clip says that this is the beginning of a franchise. That means we will get a series of Bade Miyan and Chote Miyan shenanigans. Moreover, the inaugural part is eyeing a Christmas 2023 release. Now, it remains to be seen if the audience is accepting of the new pair.

Separately, Shraddha Kapoor is reported to star opposite Shroff.
