If you thought Minissha Lamba looked glamorous in Bachna Ae Haseeno, then you haven't seen anything yet.
Her upcoming movie, Kidnap opposite Imran Khan, will see her girl-next-door image replaced by a sexy one. Nithya Ramani found out just how the transformation took place.
How was the transition from Bachna Ae Haseeno to Kidnap?
The transition has been extensive and involved a lot of hard work. To play that girl [in Kidnap], I had to have a fit body and wear clothes that I normally would never wear. But in Bachna, I was in my comfort zone. My character, Mahi, was the sweetest girl you have ever met.
Tell us more about Kidnap
I play Sonia. She is 17 and loves to party. She rides bikes and swims in the ocean. She has a troubled relationship with her mum [played by Vidya Malvade], and is emotionally vulnerable. She has lived without a father [played by Sanjay Dutt] and that causes constant friction between her mum and her. That is also the reason why she is rebellious but not self-destructive. She doesn't smoke, drink or do drugs.
How was the experience of working with Imran Khan?
Fantastic! He is a lovely guy and a fantastic actor. He is very trusting, which is so endearing. He is always full of energy and ideas. He made the shoot a lot easier.
Have you seen his debut film, Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na?
Of course. He was shooting for Jaane Tu and Kidnap at the same time. We talked a lot about Jaane Tu. I was really happy for him when the film released. We all knew that he was going to be a superstar; that Jaane Tu would put him on the map.
