To be released this Id on Wednesday, 1st October, ‘Kidnap’ is out to set another milestone for budding actor Imran Khan. The character Imran plays in the film is a far cry from his role in ‘Jaane Tu…’. The film has Imran playing a kidnapper and instead of hush-hush romance between the hero and the heroine, it essentially traces the complex relation between a kidnapper and his victim.
Imraan and Minissha displayed great chemistry on-screen and off-screen. The duo got along like a house on fire from the first day of the shoot. For one shot of the film, Imran suggested that he practice a knife stunt with Minissha before the actual shoot. Minissha readily agreed and even bruised her fingers with the knife while rehearsing. The efforts paid and resulted in a bone-chilling take in the end. Later, Minissha kept chiding Imran about her injury saying that he hurt her only to avenge his loss in a card game they played on the sets!
Commenting on how the sensational newcomer of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Imran Khan, got signed up for the project, writer Shivani Bhathija reveals exclusively, “A friend had seen Imran at Aamir Khan Productions’ office and said he looked interesting. ‘Interesting’ is what we needed for Kabir so I mentioned his name to Sanjay (Gadhvi). Sanjay saw Imran and called me immediately to say that we had found Kabir.”
Elaborating on her first reaction on seeing Imran, Bathija adds, “I met Imran first at his house when Sanjay (Gadhvi) and I went to give him a narration. He was exactly what I had in mind when I wrote the character of Kabir four years before setting eyes on him. Kidnap was destined for Imran.”
Remarks director Sanjay Gadhvi, “I am proud of Shibani because she wrote the script of Kidnap even before she worked on Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Fanaa. This is really one of her initial scripts. It so happened that these films released before and we started making Kidnap only last year. As for Imran, I signed him much before the release of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. So when the latter became a hit and everyone went gaga over Imran, I said this is just the beginning….wait till you see him in Kidnap!”
