The khiladi will play a stuntman to Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Kambakkht Ishq"; film will also star Beyonce Knowles, reports Soumyadipta Banerjee.

Even before Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp could get his act together with Amitabh Bachchan in Mira Nair’s "Shantaram", actor and governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s office has confirmed that he would be acting alongside Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor in Sajid Nadiadwala’s "Kambakkht Ishq".

The film will be shot extensively at Universal Studios in Hollywood. International pop star Beyonce will also feature in the film.

According to sources, the letter from the governor’s office in California has already reached Nadiadwala who will soon fly there to sign up Arnold. Sources add that Arnold and Sajid have still not agreed on the final fee. Nadiadwala confirmed that Arnold has agreed to do his film but said, "My company is in talks with the Arnold’s office. However, I won’t be able to make an official announcement until Arnold signs on the dotted line."

Another source from Nadiadwala’s office said, "Arnold will be playing a Hollywood star in the film and Akshay will be his stuntman." Apparently, Beyonce will be making a ‘sizzling entry’ in the film. She will supposedly be playing an international pop diva. "We would have ideally wanted to do her an item number, but we don’t think that would now be possible," the source added. It is rumoured that Beyonce is pregnant after her marriage to musican Jay Z.

Nadiadwala has also appointed the casting directors of the reality show Entourage-Susan Paley Abramson and Justine Hempe— for roping in more Hollywood stars. Prashant Shah, line producer of the film, based in Los Angeles confirmed this.
