Filming Brothers With Akshay Like 'Being in Punjabi Joke Book,' Says Sidharth Malhotra

Mumbai: Actors Sidharth Malhotra and Akshay Kumar will be seen locking horns in Karan Malhotra directed Brothers. But despite the intense combat sequences in the Karan Johar production, the mood on the sets was light and fun-filled.

Sharing his experience of shooting with the Khiladi star, Sidharth said, "Being on the set with Akshay sir is like being in a Punjabi joke book. He constantly cracked jokes, including a lot of adult jokes, which I obviously can't share."

The Student of The Year actor is a Punjabi himself, but he is not fluent in the language.

"Despite being a Punjabi, I never spoke Punjabi. So, I learnt a lot of Punjabi from Akshay's vocabulary."

There's more that he learnt.

"I learnt a lot from the way Jackie Shroff, Akshay Kumar and other senior technicians conducted themselves on the sets. There was serious anxiety and nervousness for me since it's just my fourth film. But Akshay sir had a big hand in lightening the mood during the intense fight sequences with his Punjabi jokes which certainly helped my performance," said the 30-year-old actor.
