Oscar-nominated Brad Pitt’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button which sank without a trace, but you can expect the romantic Akshay-Ash starrer Action Replay to be a hit at the box office. 
To start with, the film is one of Bollywood’s best kept secrets this year, especially because it brings Akki and Ash together again after their sensational pairing in Khakhi. Then, just as Brad Pitt does in Benjamin Button, Akshay goes through a reverse ageing process in Action Replay. The films starts with him at the age of 62 and goes on to show him becoming 26. From being a father, Akshay grows to be a fashionable young dude of the swinging 70s with bell bottoms and wide belts. The script of Action Replay was ready before Brad Pitt’s film released. The cinema world’s best make-up specialists, led by Paul Pattison (Braveheart and Mission Impossible 2), are being used to give shape to this ambitious film. Film-maker Vipul Shah begins shooting this month and is expected to release Action Replay around November or December when Shah Rukh Khan’s My Name is Khan and Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots are slated to hit the screens. "What we are attempting is very ambitious and it hasn’t happened in Indian cinema before" Vipul told BT.
"The film is an out-and-out romantic comedy but reversing time is the challenging element. We’re putting in a lot of effort to pull off this one. We have to keep improvising on our content and technical abilities all the time".
