Tiger Shroff says he initially wondered why people were making memes on him; Akshay Kumar discusses woke culture, affirms ‘comedies will come back’

Tiger said, “I have not been around very long in the industry, obviously not close to sir (Akshay). But, as far as I remember, after my first film, I became one of the meme favourites. So there are a lot of memes on my movies. But initially, I used to wonder why people were doing this and why they were making fun of me. But then after a while, I started enjoying it and people just said ‘you know it’s good… you made an impact if you’re part of the meme culture, you are definitely making an impression,’ so I said okay cool.”

Akshay then discussed the ‘woke culture’ and how there are less comedy films being made. “Comedies will come back. This and next year, they will come back. I am doing two or three comedy films myself,” he said. Akshay said that he finds it weird when people don’t understand comedy and added that they should understand how he is just playing a character. Tiger also discussed the famous ‘choti bachi ho kya‘ meme and said, “I don’t know how that got picked up. It was crazy.”

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar and also stars Manushi Chhillar, and Alaya F in pivotal roles. The film will be released in theatres on April 10.
