The cast of Mission Mangal is all set to present their upcoming movie, Mission Mangal, to the world. The film based on India's first Mars Orbiter Mission features an ensemble cast which includes Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Sharman Joshi, Taapsee Pannu, Nithya Menen, Kriti Kulhari and others.

The Mission Mangal team are having quite a fun time promoting their movie currently. From playing housie to holding media interactions where they add a fun twist by playing pranks on each other, it's amazing to see all the stars in their element. Now, in a recent video shared by Vidya Balan, the entire cast and crew of the movie can be seen playing Antakshari while travelling for promotions.

Vidya Balan captioned the video as: "Antariksh se Antakshari tak ka safar #MissionMangal"

Doesn't this look like fun? All of the stars seem to be in good spirits and happy to be chilling in each others' company.

A few days ago during a media interaction, Sonakshi and Akshay played a prank on reporters when Sonakshi playfully hit Akshay, which made him topple over from his chair and fall flat on his back. Later, of course, Taapsee clarified to the media that Akshay himself might have told Sonakshi to do that to scare the reporters present during the interaction.

While it was obviously staged from the looks of it, it certainly scared the reporters present! The cast frequently keeps sharing such photos and videos on social media to engage with fans and to keep them updated about the film's progress. Check out this Boomerang to see how much fun they're having!
