Akshay played prank on Vidya

Vidya Balan is a sucker when it comes to being at the receiving end of pranks and that's what happened recently on the sets of Heyy Babyy.

Akshay Kumar had he entire unit in splits posing as a radio jockey and conducting a telephonic interview with the actress as a prank. Vidya failed to see through the joke and answered all his questions patiently.

It is only after seeing Vidya wait for her interview to be aired, sitting in front of the radio, did Akshay pity her and told her the truth. Akshay had thought that Vidya would see through the prank, but she didn't.

"Filmmaking may seem very easy but it gets taxing at times. We work together for days especially on outdoors. It's like one big family. With pressures looming large, one needs to release steam and what better way than to laugh it off?" says Akshay.

Major part of the film is shot in Australia. So during the shoot when Vidya got a call from a local radio channel asking for an interview with the radio jockey having a strong Punjabi accent, Vidya was surprised.

The interview went on for a good 20 minutes or soconsisting of many questions about her debut film to Heyy Babyy to her career and her personal life.

The RJ (in this case Akshay) told Vidya that the interview would be aired in 15 minutes and that she should listen to it. Poor Vidya waited for the interview to come on air but when she discovered that it was a prank and everyone was laughing at her while she was very embarrassed.
