April 19, 2010, (Sawf News) - Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar's great chemistry in the upcoming period comedy has director Vipul Shah wondering why the two have not been paired earlier. The two featured together in Khakee (2004) but Aishwarya was paired with Ajay Devgan in the film. "Akshay and Ash look terrific together. I am surprised that no one has thought of casting them as a romantic pair. They are outstanding," Shah tells IANS.

"This song, which will be shot in Manali, starts in a playful manner and then goes on to salute the stylish romance that was a trademark of the 1970s," said director Vipul Shah in a press statement. The song is composed by Pritam Chakraborty and the lyrics are Nakhre nakhre nakhre, nakhre hain naatak re, nakhre nakhre nakhre tu peeche hi rakh re. "The five couples whom Akshay and Aishwarya will pay a tribute to in the five-minute song will be Amitabh-Jaya, Dharmendra-Hema, Rishi-Neetu, Rajesh-Mumtaz and Shashi-Parveen," said a source. "Since the film has a retro feel, Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya will be dressed just like these legendary couples did in their films. The unit is currently planning how to choreograph the song," added the source. Another fact that has created a buzz is Akshay's dance numbers in the film that instantly remind the audience of John Travolta in the 1977 hit Saturday Night Fever.
Aishwarya Rai will take the audiences down memory lane in a song in Action Replayy, a musical tribute to leading Bollywood couples of the 1970s.
Heard this?? Mani Rathnam, the ace director from South who has been making Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan starrer mega- budget flick ‘Raavan’ for quite some time now, is facing dilemma in the choice of ending of his flick.
Sources close to production house say that the ace director has kept his options open by shooting for four endings with Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Vikram (Tamil super star). One of the probable endings is said to be Sita going over to Raavan, after demon King succeeds in influencing her thought process in his favor.
However, this line has potential of enraging Hindu groups in the country and that might invite opposition and ban on the film. Another option of ending is said to be Sita reuniting with her husband Ram, which is the normal practice in Ramleelas and other plays and books.
But, Mani Rathnam’s problem is that Raavan is revered in Tamil Nadu and other southern states of the country and this will not go well with them, especially so, as the film is being made in both the Hindi and Tamil languages at the same time.
Besides above two, Mani Rathnam is also said to have shot for two other endings for the film but they, too, have problems with the perception of the people. In the film, Tamil version has Vikram playing the character of Raavan, while in the Hindi version it has been enacted by none other than Aishwarya Rai’s husband, Abhishek Bachchan.
However, there is also another theory doing the rounds in the industry that all this ending confusion and dilemma may be the handiwork of marketing people. This gimmickry may be a tool in their hands to promote upcoming ‘Raavan’ among the audiences.
The movie also features Govinda, Ravi Kissen and several other bollywood actors in pivotal roles. The shooting of the flick is almost complete and it is expected to see the light of the day very soon.
