Have you ever had that moment in life,
which you will cherish forever? It can be anything that makes you happy. It
might be a good job, valuable relationship, or a small gift from a person you
like. Such priceless moments and presents can become a good reason to stay
delighted for your entire life. The well known Indian film maker Sajid Nadiadwala has many such reasons
to be happy and content. One of them is the memento he had received from his
childhood hero and famous Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone. Sylvester
agreeing to work in Sajid’s film Kambakht Ishq, which had actors Akshay Kumar
and Kareena Kapoor playing the leads, was an achievement for the producer. Talking
about what was the film about Sajid said, “The film was about a stuntman, who
does stunt doubles for Hollywood actors. That's why we roped in Hollywood stars
- the script demanded it.”
In Sajid
Nadiadwala’s Kambakht Ishq, Sylvester Stallone had to play himself alongside
Akshay Kumar. Explaining about the rapport that the two actors shared off
screen, the producer said, “They gelled very well. Stallone was very impressed
with Indians and our way of working. Akshay and Stallone would discuss their
workouts, gym routines and trainings.” Apart from Sylvester Stallone, Hollywood
actress Denise Richards was also roped in for the film and getting the two on
board was a difficult task as per Sajid. He said, “We were trying to get in
touch with Hollywood actors through various sources. We tried many actors and
finally, we could get Stallone and Richards.”
Finally the moment came, when Sajid Nadiadwala was gifted a pair of
boxing gloves by Stallone, which he would cherish forever. He confirmed saying,
“Yes that was a memento. I will always cherish that. He was so impressed with
us that he gave his boxing gloves to me. Cinema in India is growing big
time and people abroad have started recognizing us. It is a matter of pride to
get boxing gloves from Stallone himself!”
