Anubhav Sinha played pranks on an unsuspecting cast and crew while shooting for Cash in Cape Town

When it comes to the pranks department two actors, Ajay Devgan and Zayed Khan, are considered to be pranksters par excellence. But on the sets of Cash in Cape Town (South Africa) director Anubhav Sinha surpassed them. To his advantage he discovered a pranks shop in Cape Town and managed to lay his hands on something that looked like a brick. Before using it as a prop he decided to make good use of it and having some fun at the cost of the cast and crew. And what better than using props for making people run helter-skelter.

Confirms Sinha, "I discovered a brick in a studio that was made of foam but looked as good as a real brick. I would throw the brick on unsuspecting people, who would scream and run away in fear! It was a lot of fun on the sets."

Anubhav's first victim was Ayesha Takia. He flung the brick at her and she ran away screaming until she realized that it was only a sponge in the shape of brick. Soon the brick-bug bit Ayesha too and she too had fun hurling it at co-actors.

Relates an amused Anubhav, "The only person who was missing was Ajay Devgan as he was not shooting that day. So I took the brick back to the hotel. The next morning my victim had to be Ajay. When I threw the brick at him he simply freaked out."

So with all the play happening, did he actually find the time to complete the shoot? "We completed a big action film like Cash with seven actors in 51 days on an outdoor shoot, and that's quite an achievement, considering how playful the entire cast was, throughout."
