New Delhi: Akshay Kumar is known for his pranks on the sets of film shoots and ad shoots. Many times, his co-stars have narrated incidents involving Akshay that were pranks or jokes which lightened the mood of a shoot. Recently, on the occasion of April Fool's Day, Akshay shared some 'prank inspo' with his fans. The actor shared an Instagram reel featuring himself and FORCE IX's co-founder Manish Mandhana on whom he played the prank.
In the video, which was shared by Akshay Kumar, we see him hold Manish with the side of his arms in an embrace and with the help of another person lift him up quite easily. When he asks Manish to do the same stunt, Manish is unable to do so. We see the latter try his best to lift Akshay and then give up by checking Akshay's arms and wondering at the strength they possess. We also see other people's reactions on the set who seem to be laughing and hiding their faces at Manish's puzzled expressions.
Sharing the video on his official Instagram handle, Akshay captioned it, "Here’s some prank inspo for you all to try today. Tell me how it went. April Fool's Day." Funnily enough, Akshay uses his own character's snippet from 'Bhaagam Bhag' as the video ends. Akshay's fans dropped many laughing emojis in the comments section. Actor Kriti Sanon's sister Nupur Sanon also commented with 'Love it' in the comments thread.
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar was most recently seen in 'Selfiee' alongside Emraan Hashmi, Nushrratt Bharuccha and Diana Penty. Directed by his frequent collaborator, Raj Mehta, who also directed Akshay in 'Good Newwz', 'Selfiee' failed to make a mark at the box office. Since last year, Akshay Kumar has had a spate of flop releases at the theatres. Akshay's previous films like 'Raksha Bandhan' and 'Samrat Prithviraj' also bombed at the box office last year.
