For a few months, till Vipul Shah announced November 5 as D-Day, the grapevine had been buzzing about Action Replayy lining up for an Eid opening. And setting up a moonstruck clash between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Salman Khan, whose Dabangg had also zeroed in on September10.

However, the producer-director denies this, “Ash versus Salman? Eid was never an option. We had earlier locked on July 23 but the post-production is taking longer than expected because the film has a lot of special effects. So another Akshay Kumar starrer, Khatta Meetha, opened last Friday,” says Shah. “Diwali is a good time for our fun film.”

Vipul Shah’s upcoming film Action Replayy starring Bollywood super star Akshay Kumar and gorgeous Aishwarya Rai is all set to sparkle this Diwali.

Besides the duo, the film features Neha Dhupia, Kirron Kher, Rajpal Yadav, Om Puri, Randhir Kapoor and others.

The releasing date was announced in Manali which has been scheduled for December 5.

The release of this film will clash with another big venture-Golmaal 3 that stars Ajay Devgan, Mithun Chakraborty, Arshad Warsi, Kareena Kapoor, Tusshar Kapoor and Kunal Khemu.

So it’s going to be war between the retro film and the comedy flick but the audience is going to have a great festive season this year.

One of the most beautiful and unearthly lady walking the planet is the 1994 Miss World Aishwarya Rai. A moving poetry in flesh and blood, her eyes are hypnotic and beauty peerless. With her Grecian features and enigmatic appeal, it’s no surprise that even the sexiest men on planet easily fall for her charms.
And one such sexy man from the shores of Bollywood is the rippling hunk Akshay Kumar. Ash is currently busy shooting with Akshay for Vipul Shah’s next flick ‘Action Replay’, a tentatively titled caper that’s a blend of science-fic and comedy.
Since the duo fly through a time machine, they have been lent an ageing look in this film (in some parts). And Akshay is awed by the fact that even when Aish is made up to look like 50, she still glimmers and shimmers like a 21 year hottie.
Making no concealment of his reverence for the gracious beauty, he showers applauses on her via twitter as he tweets, “I am now sitting in my van being tortured by my make-up artists to look like an old haggard man in the stunning mountains of Manali. About to shoot the much awaited song with Ash, who still looks 21 even when they try and make her look 50.”
Romancing the screen Goddess even at 50, all I can say is that Akshay Kumar, you are one lucky man……..

Reports are abuzz that Akshay Kumar has said that Ash looks as young as a 21-year-old, inspite of the make up man trying desperately to make her look as old as a 50 year old.

The flick ‘Action Replayy’ is a remake of the Hollywood flick ‘The Curious case of Benjamin Button’.

Finally, after many cancellations and much shifting in schedule dates, the retro song featuring Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar for Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s movie Action Replayy is going to be shot in Manali.

Vipul Shah has been keen to shoot this song since the end of winters but the shoot has been getting postponed for one reason or another. First, it snowed in Manali when the unit was set to fly there. Then, Ash and Akshay got busy with other projects. Ash even suggested shooting the song in London in May, but Vipul did not find it feasible.

Now, all things have come together just right for the song to be canned at last. Aishwarya has a few free dates and Akshay too has a few days to spare before he gets busy with the promotions of Khatta Meetha.

Vipul Amrutlal Shah can at last heave a big sigh of relief. After being on tenterhooks for months because of a pending song for his time travel movie Action Replayy, the director has finally managed to winkle out some time from the film’s lead actors, Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar.

As we reported earlier, the movie’s shoot is complete but for a special retro song which Vipul hasn’t been able to shoot for reasons beyond his control. First, inclement weather in Manali, where the song was to be shot, played spoilsport. Later on, Ash and Akshay had no dates to spare for the song. Though Ash offered to shoot the song in London in May, the plan wasn’t feasible for Shah.

Now, after waiting for months, Vipul is reported to have got the required dates from both Ash and Akshay to shoot the song near Manali by the end of June.

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar says that Action Replayy is his first romantic comedy with Aishwarya Rai and he was blushing through the making of the retro cool movie.

“It is my fifth film with director Vipul Shah and definitely another one to remember. Ash and I had a brief romantic interlude in Rajkumar Santoshi’s Khakee, but Action Replayy is our first romantic comedy together. Believe me, I was blushing through the making,” Akshay said in a
statement.

“There’s a lot I wish to tell my audience about. But Vipul wants me to keep things under wraps for the moment.”

Akshay says he was thrilled to be a part of “Action Replayy” that is set in the 1970s when his father-in-law Rajesh Khanna was hailed as the first superstar.
