The last and only time that Akshay Kumar and Ashwairya Rai have worked together was in Rajkumar Santoshi’s hard-hitting Khakee which did fairly well at the box-office. One will have to wait and watch if the duo can do an ‘action replay’ of their past success this time around. Vipul Shah is currently busy wrapping up his ambitious project London Dreams, but that hasn’t deterred him from announcing his next film.
Vipul’s next will star Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in lead roles. Though there were rumors earlier that the film is titled Action Replay, Vipul is yet to confirm the final title. While Akshay Kumar has been a favorite with Vipul Shah (Waqt-A Race Against Time , Aankhen, Namastey London, Singh Is Kinng) this is the first time that the filmmaker would be working with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
The film will also star Randhir Kapoor who would be seen on the silver screen after a hiatus of 6 years ( Armaan in 2001). Randhir apparently plays a scientist in this time-travel tale. The movie’s shooting is expected to begin this month and it might release by the end of 2009. Akshay and Shah have already worked together in a number of films, but a concept as unique as ‘Action Replay’ is the first time they are venturing into unexplored avenues.
