Katrina Kaif was offered 'Bade Miyan...' She is always on my mind, says Ali Abbas

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan director Ali Abbas Zafar recently disclosed that he had initially offered the Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff film to Katrina Kaif as one of the female leads. Apart from Akshay and Tiger, the film features Alaya F and Manushi Chillar in lead roles. Zafar said he always thinks of Katrina first when casting his film.

Speaking to media, the director said, "Katrina is always on my mind when it comes to making any film. If I don’t cast her, she calls and tells me, ‘Why aren’t you taking me in your film?’ She said the same this time around too. Whenever I’ve



worked with her, we’ve always shared a great bond as a director-actor duo. Katrina couldn’t do our film because she was busy with something else. I just hope that she keeps her dates free for my next film.”

Heaping praise on Katrina's acting skills, Zafar added, "I feel there’s a lot of potential in her as an actor. Be it Bharat, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan or Tiger Zinda Hai, she has done some really good work with me. Every time I make a film, the first call I get is from Katrina where she complains about me not casting her. She often asks, ‘Why am I not being offered this film?’”
