October 27, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai comes together for a full-on romantic date this Diwali and sparks from Action Replayy are already flying! Touted as one of the biggest releases this year, Vipul Shahs Action Replayy brings back Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai on the big screen after their brief stint in Khakee. In a statement to the media, the actor says that it was lovely working with his beautiful leading lady again. On hearing that their pairing is rather unconventional, Akshay Kumar expresses surprise at the fact that no filmmaker ever thought of casting the two together after Khakee.

From Katrina Kaif to Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar has worked with every glamorous girl in B-town. And though Aishwarya Rai may appear larger than life to the common audience, the actor says that she is not the diva that she is usually thought to be! Stressing on the fact that the duo share a very good rapport, Akshay Kumar says that Aishwarya Rai throws no tantrums whatsoever and it was fun to be with her on the sets of Action Replayy.

The actors will be seen playing retro couples in their upcoming Diwali release, and the songs and costumes used in Action Replayy have already earned rave reviews from the viewers across the country.
