Sajid Nadiadwala is known to be among the most lavish producers in Bollywood, who doesn’t believe in compromising on the quality of his films. For his forthcoming Akshay Kumar- Kareena Kapoor starrer Kambakth Ishq, Sajid has managed to rope in some really big names from Hollywood.While its common knowledge that action superstar Sylvester Stallone and hottie Denise Richards would be seen in Kambakth Ishq, Sajid has gone ahead and even got Brandon Routh to play a role in his film.For the uninitiated, Brandon rose to popularity after he played the role of Superman in the latest ‘Superman’ film Superman Returns. In fact, Brandon just finished shooting an extensive action sequence for Kambakth Ishq, with none other than Akshay Kumar - the Khiladi of Bollywood.A source present on the sets reveals, “Akshay and Brandon had to perform a stunt scene together. The shot involved them to jump from a height of a tall building… It was the most crucial scene of the film and probably the most dangerous one too.”Akshay did not allow Sajid to use a duplicate. Brandon was impressed with Akshay after watching him perform such a dangerous feat and he too insisted on doing the scene himself.Bollywood’s own Khiladi and the Superman Returns star even exchanged tips on fitness, action, and martial arts. What’s more, even debutante director Sabir Khan received some encouraging words of praise from Brandon Routh.If Kambakth Ishq turns out to be a huge success, we are sure to see many Hollywood stars make an appearance in Hindi films in the days to come..
