15 Years Of Kambakkht Ishq: Mystery Of Why Sylvester Stallone Agreed To Be A Part Of Akshay-Kareena Starrer Remains Unsolved!

When Akshay Kumar got to know that Sylvester Stallone would be a part of his starrer Kambakkht Ishq he excitedly told this writer, "When in my early years I was working in Bangkok, I had three posters in my room, that of Sridevi, Bruce Lee and Sylvester Stallone."

Coincidentally, Meri Biwi Ka Jawaab Nahin in which Akshay had the privilege of working with Sridevi, completed 20 years on July 2.

Stallone had a three-day role in Kambakkht Ishq and he played himself. Apparently, Stallone charged through the roof for his august presence in the July turkey. Akshay Kumar played a stuntman in Hollywood (the original Fall Guy) and Stallone was one of the Hollywood icons he played body-double to in the film. Never mind if Akshay’s build was nothing like Stallone’s. Before shooting together the two bonded off the sets.

Apparently, Stallone got interested in Akshay's work and even showed interest in watching Kumar's films. The film was a no-holds-barred gender war, tangy spicy and supremely smug in its silliness. As Akshay's character came to the realization that there's more to love than scoring, we the audience come to the realization that films about cads with claws who get entrapped in a love clause have their utility when you're looking for an evening of farce and fun with no strings attached.

As far as eye-catching locales and protagonists go, Kambakkht Ishq goes a long way. The Akshay Kumar - Kareena Kapoor Khan pair just made you stare. If you are into clothes shoes and accessories you could spend an evening with Kambakkht Ishq just checking out what Kareena wears, and how well she carries it off.
