Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan’s ‘Mast Malang Jhoom’ dance step sparks debate: Is Bollywood running out of original moves?
The title track for the upcoming action-thriller Bade Miyan Chote Miyan received a lot of praise. Following that, a new song from the film was released featuring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff.
Both actors shared a short clip announcing the release, and the song is now available on official channels. “Energy – MAST, Beats – MALANG, Groove – JHOOM. It’s time to dance to the beats of Mast Malang Jhoom!,” Akshay Kumar wrote in his post.
While the reception for the song is great, some fans have raised questions regarding the choreography. The dance reminds the fans of Naatu Naatu from RRR. A few of them have started calling it a rip-off and flamed Bosco Caesar for the choreography. Many called it a straight-up copy of the award-winning Naatu Naatu.
It is not uncommon for movies to take inspiration from others, and the same goes for choreography. In Bollywood, which is especially focused on music and dance, there will be similarities in many places. While many fans understand this, it will not stop a few from pointing out small things.
Here are some of the fan reactions –
Yes this is a blockbuster song. But #AkshaySir Dance steps like something ( RRR ) nato nato song..over all it's a best song.👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Prior to this, Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff both saw crowd-throwing slippers. The actors were visiting Lucknow for the promotion of their upcoming film when the situation got out of hand.
There was a massive crowd gathered which soon got out of control. Slippers were hurled towards the stage with chants of ‘Akshay Kumar Murdabad’. The police opened a lathi charge in order to take control of the situation.
As per reports, performers were tossing freebies to the audience. This led to chaos and subsequently devolved into the aforementioned situation. The actor requested the crow to maintain and be careful.
“Aap logon se haath jodd kar vinti hai please araam se, hum aapke yahan aaye hain , aapse milne, aapse baat karne, please apne aapko dekhiye, saath mein ladies bhi hain bachche bhi hain, main aapse request karta hun araam,” Akshay Kumar said.

The actor revealed that the trio has discussed working together on a film.
Reflecting on their conversation, Aamir said, “About six months ago, Shah Rukh, Salman, and I were together, and I brought up the idea.

We’re waiting for the perfect script, and hopefully, it will happen soon.”
Fans of the three Khans have long awaited a collaboration between the Bollywood legends, and Aamir’s remarks have reignited hopes of seeing them share the screen.

“Intelligent Stubbornness”: Manoj Bajpayee on Chasing Dreams and Staying Relevant
How does the son of a farmer from a small village in Bihar rise to stardom in the bustling and competitive world of Mumbai’s film industry? For Manoj Bajpayee, the answer lies in being “intelligently stubborn.”
The versatile actor, known for roles ranging from Bhiku Mhatre in Satya to Srikant Tiwari in The Family Man, attributes his success to his ability to navigate challenging circumstances without losing sight of his dreams. Speaking to PTI, Bajpayee reflected on his journey, which began in the village of Belwa and led to a celebrated career in both mainstream and arthouse cinema.
“You have to be intelligently stubborn and audacious,” Bajpayee shared. “Circumstances and situations will test you constantly and make you doubt yourself. But commitment to your dreams is what keeps you going.”
After his breakthrough role in Ram Gopal Varma’s 1998 underworld drama Satya, Bajpayee was inundated with offers to play similar roles. However, he was determined not to be typecast. “I was stubborn about not getting boxed into one type of role. The industry didn’t know what else to offer me, so they offered money. But I refused. I knew that if I became a villain, I might never escape that image,” he explained.
Bajpayee’s calculated defiance set him apart. Inspired by the careers of other actors like Irrfan Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Kay Kay Menon, he charted a unique path, taking on diverse roles in films such as Shool, Gangs of Wasseypur, Aligarh, and Sonchiriya. His adaptability extended to digital platforms, with standout performances in Gulmohar and The Family Man.
Growing up as one of six siblings, Bajpayee dreamed of acting despite his family’s limited means. At 17, he moved to Delhi, pursued education to honor his mother’s wishes, and immersed himself in theatre before heading to Mumbai. His persistence bore fruit with a small role in Drohkaal (1994) and recognition in Bandit Queen. His big break came with Satya, which not only launched his career but also inspired countless others from Bihar to chase their dreams.
“It wasn’t just my village; many young people from Bihar gained the courage to step out of their comfort zones after Satya. It showed them that if I could do it, they could too,” he said.
Despite his success, Bajpayee remains connected to his roots in Belwa. “When I was there, I wanted to leave. Now that I’ve achieved my dreams, I feel drawn back.”
Bajpayee’s upcoming project, Despatch, where he plays investigative journalist Joy Bag, will premiere on ZEE5 on December 13. His journey, defined by resilience and intelligent stubbornness, continues to inspire dreamers across the country.
