Akshay Kumar And Aishwarya Rai's 'Action Replay' releases on Diwali?

Akshay Kumar And Aishwarya Rai Movie News: Action Replay a period comedy starring Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai will release in theatres on November 5.

"It's a script requirement. That's how her character is etched out," says director Vipul Shah.

The film includes a disco songs which is a tribute to popular Bollywood screen couples of the 70s like Rajesh Khanna-Mumtaz, Amitabh Bachchan-Jaya Bhaduri, Dharmendra-Hema Malini, and Rishi Kapoor-Dimple Kapadia.

"It's a very special film for me for many reasons. This is my tribute to the 1970s 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," said Akshay.

This is Akshay and Aishwarya's second film together after Khakee, in which they were not romantically paired.

This is Vipul's first film with Aishwarya and fifth with Akshay Kumar (Aankhen, Waqt - Race Against Time, Namastey London and Singh is Kinng).
