The cast of the space mission film, Mission Mangal, is currently busy promoting the movie. The film, which hits theatres on August 15, is based on India's first Mars Orbiter Mission. During a recent promotional event, Sonakshi Sinha and Akshay Kumar indulged in some mischief during the media interaction.

In a video that's gone viral, you can see Sonakshi Sinha hitting Akshay Kumar while he's speaking, which makes him topple over and fall off his chair. The incident happened during a media interaction when the cast of Mission Mangal, including Sonakshi, Akshay, Taapsee, and Vidya were in the midst of answering the reporters' questions. Sonakshi pushed Akki who was sitting on his chair and after losing his balance, he fell flat on his back!

Later, Taapsee clarified to the media that Akshay himself might have told Sonakshi to do that to scare the reporters present during the interaction.
