Ahead of his film Mission Mangal's release, Akshay Kumar chose to try his hand at another profession - a makeup artist, that too especially for his co-star Sonakshi Sinha. Akshay and Sonakshi are busy promoting their film Mission Mangal, which will open in theatres on Independence Day. Sharing a video on her Instagram story, Sonakshi Sinha pulled Akshay Kumar's leg and called him her "low budget makeup artist."
