No laughing matter

Samantha Akkineni may have grabbed eyeballs with her ability to pull off high-octane action sequences in The Family Man 2, but she doesn't find the task of tickling the funny bone equally seamless.

It is tougher than emotional scenes. It's difficult to nab the timing, and the pauses."
