Producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala
who's
currently
in
Los
Angeles
supervising
the
shooting
of
his
Akshay-Kareena
starrer
Kambakth
Ishq
is
leaving
the
large
and
cash-driven
unit
all
to
themselves
to
fly
back
to
Mumbai.
"This
exit
was
totally
unscheduled
and
unwarranted.
But
I
can't
help
it," says
Sajid.
"My
wife
is
expecting
a
baby.
And
much
as
I
tried
to
be
professional
and
matter-of-fact
about
this
event
in
my
life,
the
family-man
in
me
finally
took
over
from
the
producer.
I'm
sorry
but
I've
to
be
with
my
wife
at
this
important
time
in
her
life."
Sajid
is
flying
back
for
six
days
until
his
wife's
delivery
which
is
on
the
24th.
"Until
then
the
unit
here
(in
LA)
will
have
to
take
care
of
it."
A
brave
decision
considering
Sylvester
Stallone
joins
the
shooting
from
the
18th.
"Stallone
doesn't
have
a
walk-on
part,
as
some
people
seemed
to
believe.
He
has
a
substantial
3-day
role.
And
he
plays
himself,"
reveals
Sajid.
So
Stallone
as
Stallone
in
Kambakth
Ishq.
Not
bad,
eh?
"Not
bad
at
all.
This
is
the
most
expensive
film
I've
ever
made.
And
every
cent
is
worth
it,"
says
Sajid
proudly.
Though
Sajid
doesn't
want
to
reveal
any
part
of
the
story,
Akshay
Kumar
plays
a
stunt
man
in
Hollywood
and
Stallone
is
one
of
the
Hollywood
icons
he
plays
body-double
to
in
the
film.
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
work.
Hope,
Akshay
doesn't
show
Stallone
his
'Rambo' acts
in
the
Khiladi
films.
