Action Replayy is a Hindi movie directed by Vipul Shah. The Bollywood production stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Neha Dhupia and Randhir Kapoor. The movie started shooting in Manali this summer, but unfortunately filming was interrupted by landslides that blocked the roads near Rohtang Pass and the cast and crew had to be evacuated by the army!
Action Replayy is a comedy based on a 1994 Gujarati play and tells the story of a man in Mumbai who travels back in time to the 70s to save his parents' marriage. Kishen, played by Akshay and Mala, portrayed by Aishwarya, are constantly fighting but they manage to rekindle their love on their 33rd wedding anniversary.
Ash and Akki have had lots of fun on the set of the movie; from disco dancers to fun loving hippies, the cute Jodi has tried on several different looks for the comedy: "For me it was an exciting experience because I could bring together Aishwarya and Akshay, a pair I had been wanting to cast for some time now. They're both good looking, super-talented and what's more, they're fashion icons as well,'' director Vipul Shah said about the film.
For Akshay the movie was something special, and not only because he got to work with B-town royalty like Aishwarya! "It's a very special film for me for many reasons. This is my tribute to the 70s that was the greatest retro era. I was kicked with the idea because I'm entering the time in cinema where my father-in-law was a superstar. Ash and I had a brief romantic interlude in Raj Kumar Santoshi's Khakee, but Action Replayy is our first romantic comedy together. Believe me, I was blushing through the making," Akki told reporters.
Action Replayy is set to release on November 5. Check out Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Randhir Kapoor and Neha Dhupia bust some moves in the upbeat number "Zor Ka Jhatka" and tell us if you like what you see.
