Actor Sanjay Dutt speaks out on his forthcoming release Kidnap.
What attracted you to Kidnap?
The moment Sanjay (Gadhvi) narrated the first line of the film, I knew I had to do it. It’s something I haven’t done in all these years. There was a sense of identification with the character - a father who deeply and immensely cares for his daughter and will go to any extent for her safety and happiness.
Did it help that Sanjay Gadhvi was the maker of the Dhoom series?
To be honest I had not seen Dhoom 1 or Dhoom 2, except their promos when he approached me. I believed in the subject and in him and decided to do it.
Tell us more about Kidnap?
My producers, director and co-actors went through a lot of anxiety during the shoot of Kidnap because of my trial. But all’s well that ends well. I am happy the film is complete, ready and looking good. It is my first release in 2008. I play a father to Sonia (Minissha Lamba) who is kidnapped by Kabir (Imran Khan). It’s an edge-of-the-seat thriller, which everyone is bound to enjoy. It has some great action and emotion and has been well written and directed. I hope my audience goes out and watches it.
Was it difficult playing a father?
No, why should it be? I have played father to Hrithik Roshan earlier.
How was it to work with the industry’s hottest youngster, Imran Khan?
We got along well. He’s a humble, conscientious and hardworking boy. He’s into his craft. He’ll go a long way and I hope and pray that success doesn’t change him.
Anything else you can recount during the shoot of Kidnap?
I enjoyed the action. It had my adrenaline rushing. I felt a teenager again! (Smiles).
