Vipul Shah’s schedules for ‘Action Replay’ seem to be going awry for no fault of anybody’s. First it was his principal actors’ choc-a-block schedules that delayed the film.

The day after Akshay landed in Mumbai after his back treatment he was doing some of the most dangerous stunts affordable to a star.

On the sets of Vipul Shah’s time-travel caper ‘Action Replay’ Akshay Kumar retro-wig which he wears for his 1970s look is his most prized possession. Apparently the wig designed by one of Hollywood’s biggest makeup artistes Paul Pattison (who has done films like ‘Braveheart’ and ‘Mission Impossible 2’) made Akshay paranoid. He was petrified of losing it. Says Vipul, “Since we haven’t copied our 1970s look from Hindi films Akshay and Aishwarya sat down to look at real-life footage from the decade to get the look right. They specially looked at television footage of live cricket matches in the 1970s. Akshay was busy peering at the pavilion of spectators, what they wore, how they spoke moved their body language. That’s how he conceived his character in the 70s. That’s where Paul Pattison’s wig came in.”
