One
of
the
most
anticipated
films
of
the
year
is
Vipul
Shah"s
Action
Replayy.
It
is
based
on
A
Curious
Case
of
Benjamin
Button
and
stars
Aishwarya
Bachchan
and
Akshay
Kumar.
The
film
is
making
news
for
its
unusual
premise
and
also
for
its
casting.
It
brings
the
two
stars
together
for
the
first
time.
The
macho
khiladi
and
the
beautiful
diva
surely
make
an
attractive
pair.
Cinegoers
are
eagerly
waiting
to
see
the
good-looking
Jodi
on
screen.
But
the
casting
coup
has
sparked
another
issue
–
will
the
Akki-Ash
pair
be
as
big
a
hit
as
the
Akki-Kat
one?
Most
of
Akshay"s
hit
films
have
been
with
the
lovely
Katrina
Kaif.
The
two
have
delivered
several
hits
like
Hum
Ko
Deewana
Kar
Gaye,
Namastey
London,
Welcome
and
De
Dhana
Dhan.
Their"s
is
one
of
the
most
successful
jodi"s
of
recent
times.
Vipul
himself
has
cast
them
in
his
two
successive
films,
Namastey
London
and
Singh
Is
Kinng.
Kat
is
also
known
as
Akki"s
lucky
mascot.
Now
that
Vipul
has
chosen
Ash
for
his
latest
venture,
comparisons
are
inevitable.
The
Bachchan
bahu
and
Akshay
were
seen
together
in
the
2004
film
Khakee.
Though
Ash
was
cast
opposite
Ajay
Devgn,
their
chemistry
was
evident
in
the
songs
“Vaada
Raha" and
“Dil
Dooba".
This
will
be
her
first
full-on
comedy
film.
Though
the
pair
looks
refreshing
and
promising,
it
remains
to
be
seen
how
they
will
be
received
by
the
audience.
Incidentally,
this
is
another
chapter
in
Aishwarya-Katrina
face-off.
Kat
had
recently
replaced
Aishwarya
as
the
face
of
a
leading
soap
brand.
And
now
the
latter
is
Akshay
new
leading
lady!
