Akshay Kumar takes over Kapil Sharma’s show, says ‘but he’s the one earning all the money’


Actor Akshay Kumar almost took over The Kapil Sharma Show from its original host Kapil Sharma to unleash his charm and histrionics on the stage of the Sony TV’s show. In the recent episode, Akshay arrived as his character from the upcoming movie Atrangi Re, that of a magician, and even did some magic tricks.

As the fellow guests, co-star Sara Ali Khan and director Aanand L Rai watched from the green room, Akshay asked Archana Puran Singh for her glasses. Archana, initially sceptical that Akshay will break them to show him muscle power, the actor instead magically elevated the glasses from the table, leaving Archana and the studio audience shocking and awe-strucked. While Akshay refused to divulge how he did that, fans got a glimpse into his Atrangi Re role.
