Shree Ashthavinayak Cine Vision Ltd’s forthcoming movie Kidnap starring Sanjay Dutt, Imran Khan and Minissha Lamba has been cleared by the Censor Board with UA certificate without even a single cut.

The keenly awaited movie releases worldwide on 2nd October 2008 and is directed by Sanjay Gadhvi of Dhoom fame.

This marks Imran’s second release after Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and breaks his chocolate boy image, while Minissha goes for an all glam and sexy makeover. The story revolves around how Imran Khan kidnaps Sanjay Dutt’s daughter, played by Minissha Lamba, to settle old scores.

With such an interesting starcast and plot, we bet the audiences are eagerly anticipating the film to hit the screens on 2nd October!

Director Sanjay Gadhvi says his next movie Kidnap is much different from his previous action thrillers Dhoom and Dhoom 2 .According to the director, ‘Kidnap’ is high on emotions and drama compared to his flicks in the ‘Dhoom’ series.”It (Kidnap) may not be superslick and stylish like the ‘Dhoom’ films which were packaged entertainers.

This is a story about a man who has not seen his daughter for the last eight years and how he comes to save the 18 year old who has been kidnapped out of revenge. There is more of emotions and drama unlike the ‘Dhoom’ movies,” Gadhvi told a news agency.
The movie stars Imran Khan as the kidnapper. Minissha Lamba plays the 18-year-old daughter of Sanjay Dutt .

‘Kidnap’ also marks Gadhvi’s departure from Yashraj Films , the banner for which he made three flicks before parting ways.


“I first directed Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai , a romantic comedy for the banner and due to its success I was assigned to do two more films. The contract has ended and so I moved out,” Gadhvi is quoted as saying.
Gadhvi added that if he had stayed with the banner he might have had to co-produce his fourth film.


“This is one of the reasons I left Yashraj because after my three-film contract ended, I would have had to become a producer and co-produce my next film with the banner. I want to sleep well. I would like to continue being a director only,” says the young filmmaker.


However, Gadhvi does not rule out working with the banner once again.

Meanwhile, ‘Kidnap’ is set to hit the theatres on October 2. It faces competition from the Abhishek Bachchan starrer Drona .
