Sidharth Malhotra says he enjoyed working with Akshay Kumar a lot during the shooting of Karan Johar's production Brothers.
At the trailer launch of 'Brothers' in Mumbai on Wednesday, Sidharth Malhotra said he wishes to learn to speak Punjabi from Akshay Kumar.
"He (Akshay) cracked jokes in Punjabi. His Punjabi is awesome. I wish to learn that from him," Sidharth Malhotra said.
He admitted that he was nervous and excited while working with Akshay Kumar who plays his estranged brother in the movie. Both of them play fighters pitted against each other.
"He (Akshay) has been doing kicking and punching for a very long time. Since it was my first film like this, I was very nervous to work with him," Sidharth told reporters.

Sidharth Malhotra is sporting a wrestler look in the movie. He had to gain as much as 10kgs in four months for the role.
"Karan showed me a photo of a six-feet wrestler who was bald and I had to be like him, though not bald. But I had to be like him look wise. I gained 10 kgs and that was very difficult. We had a team from America who helped us. I worked for four months on getting the right physique," Sidharth revealed.
Brothers' is directed by Karan Malhotra and is slated to release on 14th August.
