In a casting coup of sorts, Sajid Nadiadwala has managed to sign none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger and pop sensation Beyonce Knowles for his film Kambakth Ishq.
Beyonce Knowles is slated to do a bootylicious number in the film. The film stars Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor. Production work on Kambakth Ishq has already begun in LA and Sajid, who is making a trip to Hollywood, is expected to roll the camera in May for this magnum opus which will be directed by Sabir Khan. Sajid, who has delivered hits like Heyy Babyy , Jeet , Judwaa , Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega and Mujse Shaadi Karogi , was the only independent producer to be listed in the Filmfare Power List recently.

Prashant Shah, line producer of Kambakth Ishq says, "Yes we are in talks. It is the first time ever that a mainstream Indian Producer is making such an international film. So far, we have had Deepa Mehta who is a Canadian, Meera Nair and Gurinder Chadha who have been Indians of international origin making a splash in Hollywood. But with Kambakth Ishq it will be the first time that an Indian producer will be doing this. We are in talks with Beyonce and we have also received a letter from Arnold's office. We are yet to work out the logistics."
Confirming the news director Sajid Nadiadwala says, "Yes, we shall be making a formal announcement very soon. I cannot reveal any further details. As our Indian film industry is making its presence felt and going global, I would like my banner Nadiadwala Grandsons to scale the global level in film making too".
A host of other big Hollywood names will also be signed shortly for the film. In that sense Kambakhth Ishq will truly be India's first international film.
After Kambakth Ishq, Sajid's production house rolls with an animated version of the Salman Khan hit Judwaa for which Salman will dub for, shortly. Followed by a film with Siddharth Anand who is wielding the directorial baton for an outside company for the first time after giving hits in Yashraj like Salaam Namaste and Tara Ra Rum Pum. The film is supposed to star Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan.
