Amitabh Bachchan commands respect everywhere he goes, owing to his iconic stature and seniority in the film industry. However, the veteran actor often makes an attempt to lighten up the air by cracking a joke or pulling someone`s leg. The Kalki 2898 AD event in Mumbai on Wednesday was no different. The 81-year-old megastar was flanked by his co-stars Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone and Prabhas at the event.

Bachchan maintained a serious demeanour throughout, but never missed an opportunity to make the audience laugh. When the actors were on stage talking about the film, he attempted to pull co-star Prabhas` leg.
