Our P.K. Sambandam is Hindi’s Kambakkth Ishq

  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,April 17 2009]

Akshay Kumar’s highly publicised 'Kambakkth Ishq' is a remake of Kamal Hasan's blockbuster hit 'Pammal K. Sambantham'.

The movie had a huge star cast with Simran as his heroine, and Abbas and Sneha in supporting roles. Where Kamal played a local cinema stuntman in the Mouli movie, Akshay is playing a highly paid Hollywood stuntman in the Hindi version. And Simran’s role as a doctor in making has been translated into a supermodel role for Kareena.

The movie also has the distinction of having Hollywood heavyweights like Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and Brandon Routh to appear in cameo roles.

Intially, Anees Bazmee was supposed to have bought the movie rights for Rs. 5 lakhs on behalf of South producer GV Films. But Sajid Nadiadwala beat him to the punch and acquired the rights for a whopping Rs. 75 lakhs. He then went on to make the movie with a budget of over Rs. 60 crore, and roped in top Hollywood stars for cameo roles. Unfortunately, the movie’s release has been delayed due to the Producer vs. Multiplex wars out there.
