Action Replay is Ash’s first full-on comedy

Aishwarya Rai has three very different films coming up this year, but director Vipul Shah says his film Action Replay will bring to the audiences her first full-fledged comedy.

"Of course comedy, which is the hardest genre to do, is not taken seriously at the awards. But in my film, Aishwarya has done comedy for the first time.

She may have attempted it here and there earlier. But this is her first full-fledged comedy role.

But she's welcome to get the awards for her other two releases…I don't mind," Shah said. Mani Ratnam's Raavan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish are.

The other two films she will be doing this year. While Bhansali's Guzaarish is set to release in November, Raavan and Action Replay.

Which also stars Akshay Kumar, are due to hit the theatres in quick succession within a month.
