Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar's new Bollywood film Action Replay, a remake of Brad Pitt film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button could be in trouble after Hollywood producers threatened it with legal action.

The Times of India reported last month that the two Bollywood stars were to star in the remake.

Producers at Warner Brothers and Paramount put advertisements in The Times of India and local trade papers on Monday warning Bollywood film producers not to go ahead with the planned remake

A New Delhi law firm representing Warner Brothers will pursue legal action against any film made either in English or Hindi or other language, having a similar script, screenplay or story line or character sketches or interplay of characters or sequence of events to the original movie, reports Agence France-Presse.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button starred Brad and Cate Blanchett in a story about a man who ages backwards.
