This is the case of the missing kiss. Sanjay Gadhvi's recently released Kidnap, featured a kiss between Sanjay Dutt and Vidya Malvade. Apparently, those who had seen the preview of the film held that it was a fairly long kiss. But in the final version of the film that reached the audiences, the kiss was edited out.
One would have thought that Gadhvi would have persisted with the kiss as he seemed to have peddled enough skin show in the film, via Minissha Lamba and her miniscule wardrobe in the movie. Going by that logic, he would have definitely wanted to retain the kiss in the movie. According to the man himself, the scene was cut from the film, a day before its release as it was not felt to be in sync with the flow of the film. Apparently, everybody who saw the film's preview shows were of the opinion that it did not make any sense and should be chopped off, which is what he did. Thus it came about that the three minute scene was cut from the movie. However, the DVD version of the movie will feature the kiss, with no cuts whatsoever. But there is a section which believes that the kiss was edited out of the film on Maanyata Dutt's request. She is believed to have objected to kissing scene between Sanju and Vidya. With Dhoom 2 as well, his last film, Gadhvi had created a stir with a kissing scene between Hrithik Roshan, a kiss that he had retained in the movie.
