The Bade Miyan Chote Miyan promotional event in Lucknow’s Clock Tower Maidan initially started on a great note with Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff performing aerial stunts. Tiger Shroff even addressed the crowd and went on to say that witnessing the energy in Lucknow was the most “happening moment” for him. Akshay Kumar spoke about his excitement to visit the City of Nawabs.

However, things took a dark turn when the crowd couldn’t contain its excitement and a stampede broke out. As the crowd kept getting bigger, the security had a tough time controlling it.
