It was in 2004 when we got to see the pairing of Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the first time ever in Khakee. While we got a brief glimpse at the undeniable onscreen chemistry between the pair, it wasn't until 2010, when the co-stars got to work together again. The film was Vipul Shah's Action Replayy and while it was a box-office flop, fans still enjoyed the crisp chemistry of the two stars. As we came across a 2010 interview of Akshay with Indian Express, the 52-year-old actor had been all praises for his co-star.

Talking about their unconventional chemistry in Khakee, Kumar wondered why it took them so long to work together again. On his working experience with the 46-year-old actress, Akshay revealed that Aishwarya was simply fabulous. The reason why they shared incredible compatibility as actors and as people is that Rai brought in the same focus, energy and discipline to her work as he did. "Aishwarya is not a diva. She does not throw tantrums. She does not come with any baggage whatsoever and is an extremely easy person to work with. It's refreshing to work with someone with whom I have not worked with for a while," Kumar gushed to Indian Express.
