Stallone plays himself in the film and will be seen in a guest appearance. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala speaking about his experience of shooting with Rambo, said Stallone arrived on dot for the shooting and showed a keen interest in the shooting process.

Giving him company was Akshay Kumar and the two action stars hit it off on the sets the moment they met, he said.

Stallone was visibly impressed by Akshay's physique and fitness routine and enthusiastically inquired about it, Nadiadwala said.

Hollywood actress Holly Vance also participated in the shoot featuring Stallone. Nadiadwala said Stallone's Rambo-like action sequence with Kareena was co-ordinated by Hollywood action director Spiro Razatos who has movies like Vantage Point, Bad Boys 2, Grams 21 to his credit.

Nadiadwala said, "It is indeed a highpoint of my career to be working with an icon like Stallone. We have all grown up on his films - Rocky and Rambo and today I feel blessed at having the opportunity of working with him in Hollywood." He said the happiest happenings are always unplanned.

"Since Kambakkht Ishq has a Hollywood backdrop and the hero plays a body double, luckily for us, our search for a perfect Hollywood hero started and ended with Stallone."
