The curious case of Benjamin Button is being remade in the Bollywood with none other than Akshay Kumar playing the lead role. The movie has been titled Action Replay. The movie will see Akshay pairing up with Aishwarya Rai with whom he has previously worked in the movie Khakee. It is heard that the movie was planned before it fetched several Oscar nominations though it was unlucky at the night of the Oscars as most of them went to Slumdog Millionaire.

The movie will see Akshay reversing the process of aging. At the start of the movie, he will be seen as a 72 year old who I father and when the reversing process ends, he will be playing a 26-year-old dude. Paul Pattison who has previously worked in movies like Braveheart and Mission Impossible II is doing the makeup for the movie. The movie is sure to generate a lot of hype since the one with Brad Pitt in it was a worldwide hit at the theatres.

Vipul shah will be making this movie and is planning to release the movie around November December this year. The movie will face a lot of competition for ticket sales as releasing at the same time will be Shahrukh Khan’s My Name Is Khan and Aamir Khan’s Three Idiots. This surely leaves the audiences with many good choices to choose from.

The project is an ambitious one with such great technical ability required to make this one and that to the standards set by the Hollywood counterparts. The technicians will be all the effort required to make sure that the audiences do not leave the theaters in a sad mood.
