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.
