Katrina Kaif and Ali Abbas Zafar have previously teamed up for several films such as 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan', 'Tiger Zinda Hai', and 'Bharat'. Recently, the actress expressed her views about the trailer of filmmaker's latest film 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, through an Instagram story. In response, Ali replied, "Thank you @katrinakaif, missed you on BMCM. Please keep your date free for the next one." However, the filmmaker disclosed that Katrina had some feedback for him after viewing the trailer.
He told News18, "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."
However, was Katrina initially considered for one of the female roles in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan? Suggesting so, the director reveals, "She 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." Praising her and expressing his belief that her talents have yet to be fully explored, Ali 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?’"

The film is scheduled for an Eid 2024 release in theaters. Shot across various captivating locales including Mumbai, London, Abu Dhabi, Scotland, and Jordan, the film promises to offer a visual extravaganza to audiences. Produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, Jackky Bhagnani, Himanshu Kishan Mehra, and Ali Abbas Zafar, the movie features Prithviraj Sukumaran in a riveting negative role, alongside Sonakshi Sinha, Manushi Chhillar, and Alaya F in pivotal characters.
It is set to clash with Ajay Devgn's highly anticipated period sports drama 'Maidaan', which narrates the true-life tale of Syed Abdul Rahim, who served as the coach and manager of the Indian football team from 1950 until his demise in 1963.
