Years before, around 2003 Director Sanjay Gadhvi had penned the script for Kidnap. How come it got so delayed to complete it? Are you gauging the rigid cause for it? Well, we have Gadhvi revealing the reason lying beneath it. Kidnap was supposed to be second flick to be listed his directorial graph and things were started rolling out getting more fortunes for Sanjay Gadhvi. "It nearly took 8 months between mid-2002 to earlier months of 2003 to complete script works. With Sanjay Dutt not able to sign for proper dates, we decided to postpone the project" says Sanjay who continuously churned out chart-topping films Dhoom and its sequel. That had gradually led to the shelving of Kidnap for over past 5 years. Recently, after signing up with Ashtavinayak, Sanjay Gadhvi suggested Kidnap and it all started rolling with it.

"If not, Imran Khan it would have been Shahid Kapoor" says the Director who is elated that Imran Khan would fetch more credits for Kidnap as he has won laurels with Jaane Ya Tu Jaane Na.
