More pics from Sanjay Dutt, Imran Khan and Minissha Lamba starrer Kidnap.

From Sanjay Gadhvi, the master-director of mega blockbusters like Dhoom and Dhoom: 2, Kidnap is a high-octane edge-of-the-seat drama about a power tussle between a young boy and the father of the girl he kidnaps.

Sonia (Minissha Lamba – Bachna Ae Haseeno) lives with her mother, Mallika (Vidya Malvade – Chak De! India) and grandmother because her parents divorced when she was ten. A week before her eighteenth birthday celebration, she gets kidnapped.

The abductor, Kabir (Imran Khan – Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na) is interested in speaking only to her father, Vikrant Raina (Sanjay Dutt), an affluent New York-based Indian businessman, with whom he has an old score to settle.

Vikrant returns to India to retrieve his daughter from Kabir’s clutches but has to carry out a series of daunting tasks set out by Kabir as a condition to rescue her. At the end of each task is a clue that helps Vikrant in coming closer to Sonia.

Is his mission as easy as it seems? How far will a father go to save his daughter? What redemption is there for Kabir at the end?

Sanjay Dutt’s first release of 2008, co-starring the latest teen sensation, Imran Khan, Kidnap makes for compelling viewing as the big festival release on Eid. It features music by Pritam.

That’s right, both actor Sanjay Dutt and director Sanjay Gadhvi (Dhoom and Dhoom 2) will be in Goa for the shooting of Gadhvi’s action thriller Kidnap beginning on January 25th. They will be there for a month’s time.

Dutt will be playing the doting father of a young daughter who is kidnapped. A decent man, yet left with no option other to take on the kidnappers himself, he does so in order to rescue his little girl. The role will require Dutt to take on some daring stunts.

Kidnap also stars Minissha Lamba, Vidya Malvade and Rahul Dev.

Shibani Bhatija has written the film and Shree Ashtavinayak will be producing it. Pritam, Gadhvi’s favourite composer, will be taking care of the music for Kidnap.
