Thank you, Slashfilm, for bringing this to my attention. The Times Online is reporting that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone are finally going to appear in a feature film together. Is it a major Hollywood action blockbuster, you ask? No! In fact it is a Bollywood romantic comedy about "an Indian stuntman who takes Hollywood by storm but cannot find true love there." Surprise!
The Times also says that the film, "Incredible Love," will be the first Indian production to be shot at Hollywood’s Universal Studios and will have the highest budget in Bollywood history: more than £11m." Stallone will earn the distinction of being "the first well-known Hollywood actor to star in a Bollywood movie." Schwarzenegger's part will be considerably smaller than Stallone's. Ashkay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor will also star.
This is a landmark day for Bollywood, for better or for worse.
