Sattar (Sanjay Dutt), owner of Good Luck Recovery Agency, is the savior and the solution for all those ever caught in the debt trap. From bhaigiri to business to politics to social work - that’s how Sattar wants to progress in life. He has already graduated from bhaigiri to business and is now eager to jump into politics. Most sought after by banks, telecom companies and various multinationals, today his Good Luck Recovery Agency is number 1 in India. Sattar follows a simple rule when it comes to his business - Loan liya hai to chukao, shaadi kiya hai to nibhao…

But will Sattar succeed in using this simple principle when dealing with disparate characters and cases like Anil-Shilpa, Chandrakant-Arjun, Ryan and Prerna?

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.

Needing to get into some serious shape, Sanjay Dutt has decided to outdo SRK’s 6-pack abs which he flexed in Om Shanti Om and hired an American trainer for his next action flick Blue, which he will begin shooting in June.

Besides getting on the wagon and becoming a teetotaler, Dutt has changed his eating habits per the trainer Lawrence’s diet for him. He has also taking up spinning (pedaling a stationary exercise bicycle) for a couple of hours every day. His role in Blue will also require him to learn underwater swimming and deep diving.
