Sophie Choudry joins Kidnap team

Sophie Choudry is going places! The actress has just replaced Malaika Arora Khan and Amrita Arora for an item number in Sanjay Gadhvi's Kidnap.

Sophie said, "Sanjay Gadhvi and I have been good friends! He had spoken to me about this song three weeks ago. I usually have refrained from doing item numbers but I could not say no to this one because it is a crucial part of the film. The song appears during the pre-climax of the film. It is great being a part of a film in such big way. Also it involved Sanjay Dutt and I'd do anything for a respected and adored actor like him."

When asked about she replacing Malaika and Amrita Sophie replied, "I am doing the song now and that is a fact! I am not aware that Malaika and Amrita were to do it. I was not in country when the news that Malaika and Amrita were to do the number splashed out in the media. I don't even care about it."

Sanjay Gadhvi said that Sophie was apt for the song. "The personality that Sophie has is in sync with the look and the song. I could not have wanted anybody else for this number."

Sophie had won accolades and applause for her number In Pyar Ke Side Effects earlier.
