MUMBAI, April 21 (UPI) -- Indian film producer Sajid Nadiadwala said he has chosen to hire casting directors from the U.S. TV show "Entourage" to work on his next film.

The casting directors for Nadiadwala's movie, "Kambakkht Ishq," are Susan Paley Abramson and Justine Hempe, the Press Trust of India reported.

It is reported that the lead actors in the film, which is to be shot in Los Angeles, are Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor.

Nadiadwala reportedly has been considering casting California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for a part. Singer and actress Beyonce Knowles said she is also going to be in the movie.

Nadiadwala told the Press Trust of India he is scouting more Hollywood star talent for the project.

"Since "Kambakkht Ishq" will be shot in Hollywood, it would make perfect sense to appoint partners, who would streamline the requirements as per the script," Nadiadwala said.
