According to Real Bollywood News, Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai will take on the lead roles in Action Replay.
The original Back To The Future starred Michael J. Fox as time-travelling teenager Marty McFly, who journeys back 30 years and accidentally attracts the attention of his high school-aged mother. Kumar will take on Fox's role and Rai the mother part, originally played by Leah Thompson.
Rai is well known to western audiences from 2005's Bride & Prejudice, while Kumar once dated Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty.
In past years, Bollywood has produced films loosely based on Fight Club, The Godfather (Sarkar) and Pretty Woman (Chameli).
