Actors Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh are known to be great friends. The duo have worked together in the Houseful series and have been thick as thieves since then. Recently, the two had a fun Twitter banter about Akshay being the ' highest tax-payer'. Yes, you heard it right! Riteish Deshmukh took to Twitter to reveal what makes Akshay the highest-tax paying actor. Were you expecting some serious economics class? Well, apparently it is because all the actors keep losing their money to Akshay whenever they play any games.

Check out Riteish Deshmukh's tweet here:

Not long ago, during the promotions of Kesari, Parineeti Chopra mentioned how she lost heavily to Akshay Kumar during their on-shoot games and even owes him money. Coming to her support, actor Riteish Deshmukh now mentioned on Twitter that losing to Akki in any game seems to be a tough job. He said, "Now you guys know how @akshaykumar becomes the highest taxpayer in the country. We the co-actors contribute heavily. He has the most innovative games ... he can have his own mini-olympics."  Kesari Stars Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra Attend The Kapil Sharma Show With CRPF Jawans - View Pics!

Take a look at Akshay Kumar's response:

Of course, Akshay had an even better reply to Riteish, he said, "Thank you thank you 🙏🏻 That reminds me, what are you doing this afternoon? How about a game of Ludo." To which Riteish further provided a prompt answer saying that he would be game to play only if the actor was blind-folded, hoping that then his chances of winning to Akshay would be higher. Like Akshay Kumar, Will Hrithik Roshan Venture Into Digital Space?

This is certainly not the first time we've heard about Akshay's fun on-set behavior. He is usually known to be the prankster and now apparently a gamer too. Akshay is all set to be seen in Kesari next. The film is a period drama revolving around the legendary battle of Saragrahi. The film also stars Parineeti Chopra in the lead role and is all set to hit the theatres on March 19.
