Akshay Kumar can now boast of having some things in common with Hollywood actor Tom Cruise.

The actor has not only worked with Mission Impossible stunt director, Franco Solomon but also rode the bike Tom Cruise did in MI.

In Sajid Nadiadwala's Kambakkht Ishq directed by Saabbir Khan, the actor rides said bike with Kareena riding pillion.

Major highlight

A source reveals, "The bike has been used for an important action scene in the movie. It is one of the major highlights of the film."

Talking about the scene, Akshay says, "Kambakkht Ishq is a film where I am doing what comes naturally to me kickass action.

In the film, I play a stuntman who works in Hollywood."

All I wanted to do

He raves, "Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a cooler role. I was like a kid in a candy store when I was doing the film.

I was doing unimaginable stunts everything that I wanted to do all these years and that too in Hollywood.

There's this scene in the film where I am doing a stunt on this really cool motorbike.

Of course, Sajid and Saabbir later told me that they had got the same bike Tom Cruise had used in Mission Impossible.

Guess these guys actually managed to make mission impossible, possible in our film!"

An escape

When asked if he's scared of performing death-defying stunts in the film, Akshay says, "Stunts don't scare me.

They give me a chance to escape into my own world. Life sometimes brings you back to reality and I hate that."
