Vidya Balan joins Salman and Sanjay for Santoshi’s Lahore flick

Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan are to star in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya Who Jamiya Nahin, and the film will be shot – not in Pakistan – but in India.

Santoshi confirms, “Shooting in Lahore seems impractical. Primarily because we may not get the architecture of the partition times any more. So Nitish Roy is building Lahore in Hyderabad for us. Every lane, by-line, the transportation, the electric wires will be recreated. Our set will look more like Lahore than Lahore itself.”

Santoshi continues, “This is my second pre-Independence film after The Legend of Bhagat Singh. And an even bigger challenge because I’ve to combine drama and fiction into history. While we are getting the cast and crew into place my art designer, Nitish Roy and I are doing extensive research on Lahore during the Partition. We want to replicate every detail.”

Vidya Balan will be playing Sanjay Dutt’s wife in the film while young gun Neil Nitin Mukesh has been signed up as the third lead.

Had it not been for Imran Khan , Sanjay Gadhvi’s movie Kidnap might have been a good nap.

Picking out plot-holes in this purported thriller can be a tedious job as tiring as a chubby Sanjay Dutt hopping across the roof-beams of an under-construction high-rise building in pursuit of his daughter’s kidnapper. Quite obviously, the lithe kidnapper slips out of his hands, just like the plot keeps slipping out of Gadhvi’s grip throughout the course of this strictly timepass film.

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.
