Aishwarya Rai’s kitty was already full and the delay in the shooting of Mani Ratnam’s Raavan has added to her filmmakers’ woes.

The actress had already shot major portions of Vipul Shah’s Action Replay, but there were three more songs that required 15 more days from her.

But because Ash got occupied with shooting Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish, Shah will now have to wait till September to shoot with her.

Akshay Kumar too is not able to match his dates with Ash, which further intensifies the problem.

Vipul Shah’s film ‘Action Replay’ is getting delayed, all thanks to the stately Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. No, the actress isn’t directly responsible for the delay but it’s her stature, which forces filmmakers to go for nothing but the best. That’s why Vipul Shah has rejected music director Pritam’s song as many as three times. According to latest news, Pritam and the lyricists Irshad-Kamil are working on it for the fourth time.

After composing the song, the trio tried to convince Shah to accept the song but the director remained adamant, and said, “It is Aishwarya’s entry scene and I want it to be special.”

According to a source, Ash doesn’t know about the song. “No, Aishwarya hasn’t heard the song yet. Only after Vipul finalises the song, she will hear it,” said the source.

A lot of people in the industry have been wondering why Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been working so hard lately even as she balances her time between her two sets of parents at Jalsa (the Bachchans) and La Mer (the Rais).

Fact is that Aishwarya is in a hurry to finish up all her pending assignments so that she can keep a part of the year 2010 free for family affairs, and that includes motherhood.

A source close to the couple said, “The two of them are fed up of relatives, strangers and relative strangers asking them when the stork is visiting. Secretly, they feel pressurised. It’s as if their parenthood is a public issue. Even when they are at airports waiting to board flights, over-exuberant ladies rush to them with an inquisitive look on their eager faces. Even before these fans open their mouth, Abhishek knows exactly what the question is, and he gets visibly annoyed. Aishwarya handles such over-inquisitive attention far more graciously.”

Action to be hacked and ravaged by Bollywood – Akshay Kumar is on board to star in a remake of the Oscar winning movie.

The story remains the same – the protagonist is born an old man and becomes younger with the progression of time. Of course the film makers strongly believe it has no connection with Benjamin Button and that their film is just a romantic comedy, not at all similar to the English flick.

The Bollywood movie, named ‘Action Replay’, stars Aishwarya Rai with Akshay. In the film, Akshay starts off as an old man of 62, but grows younger to a college-going dude of 26 years of age. Since the movie would require meticulous make-up work, Shah is learnt to be in talks with Hollywood make-up expert Paul Pattison.
