"My film with Akshay Kumar is not called Action Replay" - Vipul Shah
“My film with Akshay Kumar is not called Action Replay because there’s absolutely no action in it,” announces Vipul Shah about his third joint production with Akshay which he wants to start in March.
Apparently, some write up mentioned Action Replay as the name of Vipul’s new film with Akshay. “I said it was not. But the title stuck.”
“Akshay and I have co-produced Namastey London and Singh Is Kinng. He’ll be producing this third film which is again about human relationships. He’s welcome to co-produce all the films with me, even the ones that don’t star him.”
Probe a bit more about the new Akshay-Vipul collaboration and Vipul says, “I’ve just wrapped up the script and I’m at a loss as to how to categorize it. It’s something neither Akshay nor I have done before. When I directed my first film Aankhen, I had defined it, somewhat wrongly, as a fantasy thriller. I’m not getting into classification for my new film until I’m sure. Many films fail not because they’re bad but because they don’t tell the audience what to expect,” says the director who will wrap up his latest film London Dreams by January 2009.
And finally what does Vipul have to say about the film business too having taken a beating because of the recent Mumbai terror attacks? “Yes it has, but I think the horror of what happened at the Taj hotel on 26/11 was intensified by the non-stop 90-hour telecast. It just made us feel like a city under siege. Don’t you think what happened when the Parliament was attempted to be stormed was just as terrible? The entertainment business, I feel, will recover with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Not every week do we get a film where Shah Rukh Khan and Aditya Chopra come together.”
