Kambakth Ishq Photo shoot

Kambakth Ishq has two of the most successful Bollywood stars Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Kumar. And the star power doesn’t stop here. It also has Hollywood actors Sylvester Stallone and Denise Richards featuring in all the promo pics doing the rounds and it looks like they have more than a fleeting appearance.

Kareena Kapoor plays a super model while Akshay is a stuntman in Hollywood. Their paths cross but both can’t stand each other and there are verbal duels some which have irked women’s organisations. Akshay calls Kareena a bitch and says that women are good for only one thing. Whether it is cut, beeped out or stays, remains to be seen.

The producer Sajid Nadiadwala has mentioned that a large part of the movie has been shot at Universal Studios.


The movie has been written and directed by Sabir Khan who has some experience as an assistant director for Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya.

Exhausted Preity Zinta flies to Cannes



between cheering for her Indian Premier League (IPL) team and comforting the players, Bollywood star Preity Zinta has taken a few days off to attend the Cannes Film Festival as brand ambassador of Chopard, the maker of luxury watches and jewellery.

"Can't help it," the co-owner of the Mohali team said. "For two years now I've been the brand ambassador for Chopard and I've to be at Cannes every year, come what may."


The actress, who featured in hits like Soldier, Kal Ho Naa Ho and Dil Chahta Hai, has several events lined up in Cannes, but no movies.

"There are no movies this year. I'd have liked to bring my film Har Pal, but it isn't ready. If Rituparno Ghosh's Last Lear is shown, I'll go for it. But Chopard will keep me busy for the next three days.

“I've a red carpet event. Then a dinner organised by Chopard followed by a picnic in the afternoon. I return on May 17 and head immediately for my IPL commitments."

Understandably, she's exhausted. "But I'm also exhilarated. The IPL has been a whole new learning experience for me," said Preity, who is accompanied to Cannes by her cousin Inder.

What about those who feel that IPL is confusing?

"Not at all! It's such an eye-opener. Players of different age groups and of different nationalities are interacting on one platform. The younger lot is learning from senior international names. Where would they get a chance to do that?"
