PVR Pictures, the flagship film production and distribution company of the PVR Group, has acquired the domestic theatre rights of Akshay Kumar-Aishwarya Rai starrer 'Action Replayy'.

''Action Replayy' is a huge film with an enviable star cast and a very successful director at the helm. We are incredibly excited and feel honoured to be chosen as the India distributor by Vipul (Shah) for his film,' Kamal Gianchandani, president of PVR Pictures, said in a statement.

Directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the movie also stars Neha Dhupia and Randhir Kapoor. Based on a 1994 Gujarati play of the same name, it is a time-travel comedy capturing Mumbai in the 1950s about an elderly man who travels back in time. It is releasing on Diwali (Nov 5).

'Action Replayy' will be the fifth time Shah and Akshay are coming together after 'Aankhen', 'Waqt: The Race Against Time', 'Namastey London' and 'Singh Is Kinng'.
