'Kambakkht Ishq' at Cannes Film Festival?

April 20 2009 PST

There's no denying that Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor's upcoming film, 'Kambakkht Ishq' is one of the most highly anticipated Bollywood films of the year! The film's producers are leaving no stone unturned when it comes to the film's promotion and are eager to promote it as an international film. The film will also release worldwide with the biggest amount of prints ever, even surpassing hits like, 'Ghajini' and 'Singh is King'!

Now we hear that the film may also be released at the popular Cannes Film Festival! If all goes as planned the stars of the film, Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor will be walking the red carpet in May in the south of France for the big festival! If you recall, in the past, stars like Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walked the red carpet at Cannes when their film, 'Devdas' premiered there.

We hear the film is already being cut to shorten the running time and is being dubbed in English for the special screening at Cannes. It's not really surprising why producer Sajid Nadiawala would want the film to premiere there, as it's big on Hollywood glamour and style. It even features appearances by Hollywood stars such as Sylvester Stallone, of 'Rambo,' Denise Richards who starred in 'Wild Things' and Brandon Routh, the young star of the latest 'Superman' film.

It's apparent that both Nadiawala and the distributors, Eros International want the film to premiere at Cannes and see it as the perfect international publicity stunt to drive more curiosity. While the 'Kambakkht Ishq' team says the plans are going strong, the premiere has yet to be confirmed.

So are you guys hyped up to see the film? And what do you think of a possible Cannes Film Festival premiere? Drop us a comment below!
