Hollywood actors  Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and Brandon Routh will be appearing in cameos, reportedly playing themselves. Originally scheduled to release in December 2008, the film was postponed due to extensive production work and is now slated for a release on July 3, 2009.Kambakkht Ishq explores the relationship between two indviduals who are extremely different from each other.Akshay Kumar plays Viraj Shergill, a stuntman in Hollywood who thinks women are good only for two things…making love and making love.
Simrita Rai ( Kareena Kapoor) is a firebrand who is more than able to stare down at the most arrogant male with her caustic wit and sardonic tongue..her firm belief “there’s no such thing as love”

So what happens when the two people who hate each other the most meet at Simrita’s best friend Kamini’s and Viraj’s brother Lucky’s wedding ?…a wedding that both Viraj and Simrita are violently opposed to and desperate to stop.
