When
Minissha
Lamba
was
told
that
she
would
have
to
wear
a
bikini
for
a
key
sequence
in
Kidnap,
she
didn't
blink
an
eyelid.
Instead,
she
pronto
started
making
plans
of
how
to
develop
the
kind
of
body
with
which
she
could
carry
off
her
new
look
in
a
dare
bare
attire.
"When
Sanjay
Gadhvi
(director
of
Kidnap)
came
to
me
with
the
film,
he
was
clear
about
one
thing
-
he
wanted
to
completely
change
my
look
and
make
me
go
through
a
transition.
He
asked
me
whether
I
was
game
for
it
but
honestly,
I
didn't
have
any
reason
not
to
be
a
part
of
it," said
the
actress.
Didn't
she
require
any
convincing
whatsoever?
"Not
at
all",
replies
Minissha
promptly,
"We
all
know
what
he
has
done
to
his
ladies
in
Dhoom
and
Dhoom
2.
All
his
actresses
have
looked
fabulous
on
screen
whenever
they
have
gone
through
an
image
transformation.
He
is
fantastic
at
that
and
for
me,
it
was
just
a
matter
of
putting
myself
into
the
grind
and
completely
focus
on
the
change.
It
was
a
matter
of
going
through
the
perception
shift.."
Her
new
look
appears
to
be
attracting
quite
some
fan
following
for
her.
"And
I
must
say
thanks
to
Sanjay
for
this",
acknowledges
Minissha,
"Frankly,
if
not
for
him,
it
wouldn't
have
been
an
easy
task
to
go
through
the
entire
emotional
and
physical
grind.
I
had
to
push
myself
and
do
something
which
I
myself
never
though
I
could.
Thankfully,
I
did
manage
to
pull
it
off
and
in
the
process
even
surprised
myself.
It
was
Sanjay's
vision
and
I
am
glad
that
I
followed
it
with
conviction.
Results
are
there
to
be
seen."
Kidnap
was
earlier
supposed
to
be
released
a
couple
of
months
back.
Any
regrets
about
the
delay?
"It
is
not
a
big
delay
per
se
in
any
case",
defends
Minissha,
"It
is
okay
if
a
film
comes
two
or
three
months
after
the
planned
date.
It
happens
in
the
industry.
I
for
sure
know
that
this
is
the
best
time
for
the
film
to
arrive.
The
promotion
is
going
ahead
with
full
vigour
and
I
am
excited
about
2nd
October,
the
D-day
for
the
film's
arrival."
