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……..

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is these days in the middle of completing her shooting for a song sequence in the Vipul Shah action comedy flick ‘Action Replayy’, with Akshay Kumar, has received a big compliment from the action hero.
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.
Ash is made to look that way, as that is the demand of the script at this juncture, when the song sequence is being shot in the beautiful picturesque valleys of Kullu Manali.
The flick ‘Action Replayy’ is a remake of the Hollywood flick ‘The Curious case of Benjamin Button’.

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.

There’s talk that actors Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Akshay Kumar are giving a tough time to filmmaker Vipul Shah, who is busy with the production of ‘Action Replayy’, a story that ranges from 1975 to present day! Apparently, the actors have just one song left to shoot, but won’t! The reason cited for this is ‘genuine date problem’ for both actors!

Aishwarya is currently busy with her Cannes appearance, and Akshay on the other hand is busy shooting Nikhil Advani’s ‘Patiala House’ in London. The good part is that both the actors are shooting not very far away from each other and have even recommended that Vipul Shah come to London and shoot his song at nights. However, Vipul isn’t too sure about taking up the suggestion. “It’ll mean overwork for them, and besides I have already postponed the release of Action Replayy from June to September. I have four days of shooting left and then Ash’s Raavan, too, is scheduled for a June release. So it just made sense…”

Finally, Aishwarya Rai can heave a sigh of relief from all the hectic work schedules she’s been juggling for months. Just days after celebrating her third wedding anniversary with hubby Abhishek Bachchan in the US, the stunner is off to Greece for another break.

Why Greece, you ask? Because Abhishek is going to be shooting his next film ‘Game’, an action thriller, in the country.

“Going to Greece for shooting for my new movie GAME! Great co-stars. Looking forward to it. Thankfully my Mrs. has agreed to come along,” Abhishek recently wrote on Twitter.

For the last one year, Aishwarya has been extremely busy shooting for both the Hindi and Tamil versions of Raavan, apart from Shankar’s sci-fi thriller Endhiran and Vipul Shah’s Action Replayy. Her shoot for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s c is also all but complete though she still has to shoot a song with Akshay Kumar for ‘Action Replayy’.

One song. One Bollywood diva. 125 dress changes. You guessed it; we are talking about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! The actress changed outfits over one hundred times while shooting a number for Vipul Shah’s new movie “Action Replay.” Wow! Even for a true B-town diva like Ash that is a lot! Director Vipul Shah shot the song over several days, but still, 125 times? Sounds like too much. We can’t wait to see the results of this record setting number!
“In one song, Aishwarya Rai changes costumes 125 times. Since this is necessary for the song, she did it. I think this is a record in Indian films,” Vipul Shah told reporters. Sounds like it was more Vipul’s idea than Ash’s, but we can only imagine that Mrs. Bachchan was more than happy to spend more time on hair and makeup while playing dress up!
