Akshay, Kareena set to scorch screen in 'Kambakkht Ishq'

Mumbai, March 28 (IANS) The on-screen chemistry between Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Kumar is being touted as one of the highlights of the action comedy 'Kambakkht Ishq'.

Akshay plays a Hollywood stuntman, while Kareena features as a model in the film.

'The two look hot together. Akshay and Kareena will set the screen on fire. The duo share such a good chemistry on screen,' said a source close to the project.

Ever since their 2004 film 'Aitraaz' became a hit, their on-screen chemistry was touted as one of the best. Apart from 'Aitraaz', they teamed for films like 'Talaash', 'Bewafaa' and 'Tashan', but none of these could ape the success story of Aitraaz'. Now all eyes are set on 'Kambakkht Ishq'.

The film, which is scheduled for May release, also stars Hollywood biggies.

'The film is an exciting marriage between the East and the West. The movie is a romantic comedy but features a lot of action. Sylvester Stallone, Brandon Routh and Denise Richards play interesting roles in the film,' said producer Sajid Nadiadwala in a press statement.
