Megan Fox to play Red Sonja

Megan Fox  has been crowned the 'Sexiest Woman Alive' twice and Hollywood beauty Megan Fox is set for a hat-trick as she readies to play the bikini-wearing fighter Red Sonja.

The 1985 original starred Brigitte Neilson as warrior from the Conan comic strip, opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger as Prince Kalidor.

And now producer Robert Rodriguez has offered the role to the 24-year-old Hollywood siren, so that the much delayed remake finally sees the light of the day, reported Sun online.

The remake has been on the cards for a while and was set to star the producer's former fiancee Rose McGowan. And Rodriguez lately admitted that the making had been overwhelmed by economic problems.

"If I kept the project myself, we could've just made it, but it belonged to another company that had financing problems. They had to wait until they made a couple of other movies first," he said.

Now Rodriguez has offered the role of the unbreakable beauty to the 'Transfomers' star in an attempt to drum up some fresh interest in the much delayed project.

Fox was supposed to replace Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in Tom Raider 3 but has allegedly refused the offer to avoid judgment with her predecessor.

Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai's upcoming "Action Replayy"

Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s upcoming film Action Replayy promises to take the viewers down memory lane.

Following news that one of Akshay’s dance numbers in the film will instantly remind the audience of John Travolta in the 1977 hit Saturday Night Fever, the latest buzz around the film is a special song based on the romance between some of the most popular Bollywood jodis of the 1970s.

A source said, “This is Akshay’s biggest release before Tees Maar Khan and director-producer Vipul Shah wants the film to touch everybody’s heart. The song is a tribute to the leading Bollywood couples of the 1970s and will highlight their romance.

The five couples whom Akshay and Aishwarya will pay a tribute to in the five-minute song will be Amitabh-Jaya, Dharmendra-Hema, Rishi-Neetu, Rajesh-Mumtaz and Shashi-Parveen.”

The song, composed by Pritam, has lyrics which go: Nakhre nakhre nakhre, nakhre hain naatak re, nakhre nakhre nakhre tu peeche hi rakh re. “Since the film has a retro feel, Akshay and Aishwarya will be dressed just like these legendary couples did in their films. The unit is currently planning how to choreograph the song,” added the source.

Vipul Shah confirmed the news and said, “This song, which will be shot in Manali, starts in a playful manner and then goes on to salute the stylish romance that was a trademark of the 1970s.”
