Aishwarya Rai

I think we have already mentioned “Aishwarya Rai” and King Paaji “Akshay Kumar” getting together for a movie once again. It’s for Vipul Shah’s movie named “Action Replay“. I guess the pair last teamed up nearly five years ago for the Raj Kumar Santoshi’s movie “Khakee” ( i hope i spelled that correctly). But i do remember that the pair’s on screen chemistry was amazing and caught the eye of many. So maybe it seems little disappointing that such a hit pair made it to big screen after five long years. Anyways, better late than never.

Now the film “Action Replay” directed by Vipul Shah has been given and based entirely on the 70’s background and look. It seems to be a new trend now. Movie makers going Retro way these days. The most significant factor of the film which is the fashion quotient has been totally hidden from the public so as to keep it exclusive and as a surprise for the public. The fashion designers that are Manish Malhotra for Aishwarya and Shabina Khan for Akshay have worked very hard for the entire films ensembles. The make up artiste Paul Pattison has specially been called for the exclusive touch. You might recall him for his amazing work in films like “Brave Heart” and “Mission Impossible 2″.

This movie “Action Replay” is believed to be a story about a man who travels backwards in time to the 70s when he was young and handsome. So for the sake of 1970’s, Aishwarya and Akshay have been seen sporting very different looks on the set of the movie and Aishwarya Rai, as usual looks extremely gorgeous!

I was able to get few pics on the net. However no official posters or teasers have been launched by the production house as on now. But you know how the media is. They managed to leak out few images already. So here they are:

Interesting Fact: While shooting for a Holi song sequence in the film, Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar and of course the director Vipul Shah decided against using the 70-80 tankers of water that would have been required for the shoot. “We decided to save the resource and send out the message that people should not waste water,” said Shah. I really wish that message gets through. Protecting this planet is a duty of everyone. Just do your bit and the world will change…Will change for better

As many of you must be knowing by now, Superstar Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai starring movie “Endhiran” also known as “The Robot” is being filmed in Brazil. This is the first time Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai are in a film together. Ofcourse we have been mentioning about this film for long now and you can find many related stories about the film on our website.

Probably i haven’t mentioned this before. The story line of Endhiran is that Rajinikanth is a scientist in India and Aishwarya Rai is his beautiful assistant. They try creating a Robot who can think like human and work like human. That is the dream of Rajinikanth in the movie and that’s what the film is all about. Well, here are some movie still from Endhiran (The Robot) for you to cherish, till the movie is out.

After spending crores on his film Endhiran starring Aishwarya Rai and Rajnikant, director Shankar is in talks to get a 3D version of it. Yes, nothing was planned but in an attempt to stop piracy of his film, Shankar is keen to make a 3D version.

I’m not particularly sure how this protects piracy of a film but he most probably got the idea from the megaflick and the biggest hollywood hit of this year “Avatar”. Hopefully he will make something good out of this 3D.

As reported by a daily, a part of ‘Endhiran’ will get converted into 3D. Shankar, who had a not-so-good experience with his last release Jaggubhai, is being extra cautious this time. The entire film ‘Jaggubhai’ was available on the internet before it came out of the processing lab.

Now, the director who is in no mood to take risks with his magnum opus is consulting financial experts to get ‘Endhiran’ in 3D. He was also shown a 3D demo of the film by a special effects company, and was highly impressed by the result. Fans are waiting!

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan recently paired up as co stars for the much hyped Mani Ratnam’s movie “Raavan“. After success of films like “Guru” people have accepted the real life couple in reel life as well. Undoubtedly they look a great pair together. These days their charm has taken over on film industry as well. The Ash-Abhi pair has been signed in again for an upcoming spy thriller film called “Crooked“.

The film “Crooked” will be directed by Abhinay Deo. He earlier mentioned that besides Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, he also signed up Gul Panag, Jimmy Shergill and Boman Irani for the film. The film only has been named as “Crooked” tentatively. We will soon find out what all we can expect from the movie when the film production commences.

Apparently, the movie “Crooked” is believed to be inspired by the famous Matt Damon starrer movie “The Bourne Identity“. According to the producer of the movie, Ritesh Sidhwani “Our slick espionage thriller will be in the same genre as “The Bourne Identity”. It will be shot in Greece, Istanbul, Thailand and India“. Well those who have not watched the 2002 film “The Bourne Identity”, well here is the storyline of that movie “On a stormy night, the spy thriller opens as an amnesiac is rescued at sea by the crew of an Italian fishing boat. Nearly dead, he carries nothing but the bullets in his back and the bank account number embedded in his hip. Although completely without identity or background, he possesses an array of extraordinary talents in fighting, linguistics and self-defense that speak of a dangerous past. In the present he is disoriented and wary as he is propelled into an urgent search to discover who he is and why his life has taken a perilous turn.”

Ritesh Sidhwani also added “The English-language title will most probably change”. So sooner or later we will know the true title of the movie. Till then, i will refer to the movie as Crooked.

By the way, Abhinay Deo is currently wrapping up the comedy film “Delhi Belly“, starring Imran Khan and Shenaz Treasuryvala. And on the other hand Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan are trying to complete filming for Mani Ratnam’s “Raavan” shortly.

Because of all the hype about the movie “Raavan”, people now have high expectation from the movie. And if this movie goes onto become a major hit, then believe me, we are going to see plenty more of Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan together as couple in movies. Hopping for the best!

Randhir Kapoor, one of the finest legendary actors in Indian cinema, is coming back to bollywood after a very long break. It’s nothing new these days that bollywood actors of 80’s and 90’s are coming back to bollywood to start their second innings in the glitzy tinsel town. But honestly, i never expected Randhir Kapoor to make a comeback and it really would be good to see him, on screen, once again.

Vipul Shah is the guy behind the movie which he named as “Action Replay“. As i have heard about it, Vipul Shah is all excited about Randhir Kapoor acting in his movie and he has penned a great character role especially for Randhir Kapoor in this flick.

According to Vipul, he is all excited about Randhir Kapoor in “Action Replay”. A newspaper quoted Vipul Shah as saying, “I’m a fan of Randhir and Rishi Kapoor. It was a dream come true when I got a chance to work with Chintuji (Rishi Kapoor) in ‘Namastey London’. Look at how many wonderful roles and films he signed after that. Now I’m hoping that after “Action Replay”, Randhirji too will be doing more films.” We all hope so, on the same lines Mr. Shah. Of course it will be good to see Randhir Kapoor in films again.

Off late, the last time Randhir Kapoor graced silver screen was with Honey Irani’s “Armaan”, where he essayed the role of a father to vivacious Preity Zinta. Randhir Kapoor will be seen in this movie as a scientist in his engrossing time traveling tale. Elucidating about the film, Vipul said, “Randhirji doesn’t play a mad scientist with his hair flying rebelliously and all kinds of fumes and fires escaping from the lab. Instead, He plays a calm scientist lost in his own world.”

Oops… i almost forgot. The leading stars of the movie will be our favorite Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starring opposite the Bollywood’s king Akshay Kumar. Wow, many know that Bachchan’s and Kapoor’s have strained relations. Now with Bachchan’s bahu Aishwarya Rai sharing same space with Randhir Kapoor on the film sets, would that bring the two bollywood rivals together or are we going to see some new doze of war-of-words. I just hope for the best!

Really eager to see this movie though. Wishing Aishwarya all the goodness, wellness, success and wishes for this movie!!!
