e first casting was of Sanjay Dutt and if Sanjay Dutt says no to a film, the film cannot be made. He said yes not once, but twice. Then I wanted to cast a boy across Sanjay Dutt because I was very clear that it had to be a man versus boy story. Imran’s face is very interesting. Many girls won’t like it but I didn’t find him dead drop gorgeous. He reminded me of Marlin Brando in The Waterfront. He has very expressive eyes, plus his entire demeanour is different. Also, he is a very unusual kind of guy, so that’s what I liked about him.”

I had expressed similar thoughts when discussing JTYJN vs BEH and Ranbir vs Imran sometime back. It will be interesting to see if Gadvi and Imran can pull it off.

    And Gadhvi reminds me of Kanti Shah, the legendary director of the Mithun starrer Goonda!

    Kidnap director is trying the usual stunts to grab eyeballs. Next we will hear Mamu telling us how great the nephew is in Kidnap. Wait, he already did that! But this is no worse than everything the Kidnap competition is telling us, it is all fair game.

    Aamir says Imran has done a ‘great job’ in Kidnap

    The official trials of the keenly awaited ‘Kidnap’ for distinguished industry folk have started in Mumbai. Most of them are being held at Yash Raj Studios including one held on Thursday evening.

    However, one megastar who saw ‘Kidnap’ before anybody else was Aamir Khan. Aamir came down especially to watch the film at director Sanjay Gadhvi’s Lokhandwala home some time back.

    Confirms Gadhvi, ”Yes, Aamir saw Kidnap. I invited him to watch it because he knows what is good cinema. He is a well-wisher. He saw the final cut with rough music and without sound effects or dubbing and absolutely loved it.”

    It follows that Aamir’s other motivation to watch Kidnap was his pet nephew Imran Khan whom he launched in ‘Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na’. After the screening, Aamir texted Imran about his performance to praise him in his second feature.

    Remarks Imran, ”Yes, mamu has seen Kidnap. He messaged to say that he liked the film and that I had done a great job. It was a major compliment for me because after Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, he just said, not bad!”

    Kidnap is in cinemas worldwide on Wednesday 1st October. It is an Indian Films - Studio 18 release.
