Akshay Kumar makes sure that everyone on the sets is entertained when shooting with him,and one antic which never fails to evoke laughter is his skill as a pickpocket. It could be a watch or a pair of spectacles,nothing is difficult for him to whisk away. He is such a smooth operator that you will not realise something is missing from your pocket,wrist or arm. And he does that with all his co-stars, says Aanjjan Srivastav,his co-star in Joker. Srivastav recalls a scene which required him to shake hands with Akshay. After a few takes,a production guy pointed out that the continuity was disrupted as his watch was missing in one part of the scene. I didn't realise that Akshay had taken away my watch. I continued shooting without it. Another time it was my spectacles. When asked,he would very innocently say that he is my well-wisher and wanted to keep my expensive things safe, chuckles the actor. Joker,directed by Shirish Kunder,releases on September 14.
