Oscar-winning make-up artist Paul Pattison who has styled the likes of Mel Gibson for Braveheart and Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible will now be working his magic on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for Vipul Shah’s Action Replay.

Sources say that Vipul had to pull many strings to get the makers of the Hollywood films Paul is working with to release him for a few days so that he could come down and finalise the look for Ash before she got busy with another schedule of Mani Ratnam’s Raavan.

An informer reveals, “Paul was on the wish-list of Vipul when he conceptualised Action Replay, but he was busy with two films  Chicane and The Waiting City. When Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made her dates available, Vipul contacted Pattison only to find that he was tied up. It was crucial to get him down before Ash got busy again or it would have delayed his own film. So he requested the Hollywood film-makers to release him for a few days.”

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s next film Action Replay, with Akshay Kumar in the lead, is underway with the film’s director Vipul Shah signing up Oscar winning make up artist Paul Pattison to create a new look for Ash and Akshay in the film.

Despite having signed up the best in the industry, Vipul could not get the actors and the make up artist together, as Ash is busy with Mani Ratnam’s Ravan, Pattison couldn’t make it having committed himself to two projects in Hollywood – Chicane and The Waiting City.

However, things turned out well with Ash taking a short break from Ravan and the director immediately contacted Pattison’s producers in Hollywood to have him released for a few days to work in his project. Sources say that Paul has worked out a new look for both the lead actors in Action Replay.

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.
