Bollywood stars hate to age, and one need not be a rocket scientist to figure out why!
But if reports are to be believed, then very soon Akshay Kumar will be seen defying the laws of nature as he’ll age backwards.
Akshay Kumar, along with Aishwarya Rai, has been roped in for Vipul Shah‘s Action Replay, a Desi remake of the Oscar nominated film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Brad Pitt-Cate Blanchett starrer film, that opened to an overwhelming response in India, has caught the fancy of filmmaker Vipul Shah.
Though Shah asserts that his film was scripted before he saw TCCOBB, the two films are surprisingly based on the theme of reverse aging.
According to media sources, the film opens with a 62-year-old Akshay Kumar who is shown aging back to 26.
Living any man’s dream life, the actor is shown to grow younger with each generation leap. From being a father, Akshay grows to be a fashionable young dude of the swinging 70s with bell-bottoms and wide belts.
And even though the unique paring of Ash and Akshay is bound to raise curiosity, the script is a classic case of an old wine in a new bottle.
Action Replay is set to release in November this year.
Stay tuned in!
#Update – Warner Bros has issued a public notice against any adaptation or remake of TCCOBB!

i think akshay want to make a flop one more time……LEAVE THIS MOVIE ALONEE
i think akshay kumar can do it better than brad pit only akshay can do this role he is the king not srk. srk is nothing. only acton drama comedy serious kumar can do it
Vipul Shah may claim that he wrote the script before he saw the TCCOBB, but the short story, which the original movie is based on, has been around since 1921! I’m surprised no interviewer has ever mentioned this before!
vikram,you are such a jerk guy! srk was, is &will be the king of the world(even) for ever & ever…till you & some one like you die….for you don t have eye to see my idol shahrukh…..go to hell…..
