Bollywood Is Remaking Back To The Future

Is Bollywood remaking Back to the Future? RealBollywoodNews is reporting that Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai have been cast in Action Replay (yeah, horrible title...), a film which will be unofficially based on the popular 1985 Robert Zemeckis film Back to the Future. BTTF.com was able to contact Future producer/screenwriter Bob Gale who denied any knowledge of the production.

Bollywood has a long history of "borrowing" film storylines from popular Hollywood films (google "bollywood star wars"). The ages of the two leads (41 and 35 respectfully) confirm that it won't be a close adaptation. Action Replay will begin production in February 2009.
