Imran plays a kidnapper, very different from his role in Jaane Tu.
He has been convincing in both the roles. His role in Kidnap is a complete shift from his own personality. He found the role tough, as he is a non-violent person. He doesn't raise his voice. But he has done a fabulous job.
What was your first reaction when you were told that you had to wear a bikini?
My first reaction was that I hope I have enough time to get bikini fit, because as of today, you cannot put me in a bikini and shoot. Sanjay [Gadhvi, director] gave me eight months to get into shape. He told me to trust him and that this was a fab role for me. I agreed immediately.
What did you do in those eight months?
I worked out a lot and starved myself. I gave up pizzas, which I love, and chocolate cakes and beverages.
Weren't you apprehensive about being shot in a bikini?
No. This is a Sanjay Gadhvi film. He is known as very stylish filmmaker. He presents his actors and actresses very well. And you know that his aesthetics are on the mark. As an actor, you have nothing to worry about. You can trust him implicitly.
