Ranbir Kapoor had opted out of Delhi Belly with a squirm, protesting to producer Aamir Khan that he wouldn’t be able to watch the film at the premiere with his parents.

But Imran is cool with the sexual content of his Maamu’s film. “I’d have no problem watching it with my mom or girlfriend. I’ve a cool rapport with my mom.”

Who says Aamir is no longer taking interest in nephew Imran’s career? After Aamir heard that Imran had performed a hugely dangerous stunt for Kidnap, Aamir called Imran home and gave him a dressing -down.

Says Imran, “It’s true Aamir was unhappy when he heard I insisted on performing my own stunt. He called me over and said, ‘You’ve to be more responsible towards yourself and your family.’ He’s right but I don’t know if I can listen to him in this case.”

Imran says the stunts always look more real when performed by the actor. “You can always tell the difference between an actor doing it and double doing it. So I’ll think about. But for now I’ve had enough of stunts. I want to take a break and do something lighter. Delhi Belly is just the break I needed.”

The only silver lining is Imran Khan, who, armed with his mysterious screen presence, holds you to your seat for most part of the film. But then, every silver lining has a dark cloud nearby.

The movie tells the story of a young, angst-filled man (Imran Khan) who kidnaps the daughter ( Minissha Lamba ) of a rich industrialist (Sanjay Dutt) to settle an old score. Instead of demanding a huge ransom, the kidnapper holds the businessman to ransom and plays a game with him. In the game, the kidnapper makes him do things like burgle a rival’s house, rescue a prisoner from a high-security jail, and even kill someone.
