Khan revealed he couldn't sleep at night after performing the sequence the whole day.

Imran Khan opens up about Kidnap shoot

Imran Khan interacted with Nikhil Taneja about filming a scene for Kidnap that left him disturbed. The actor recalled a scene that comes after the track Mausam in his 2008 film. Describing the scene, Khan said, "The scene after that is one of s**ual violence, where this character drags her back to the den, and it seems for a moment that he’s going to s**ually assault her. In fact, it begins that way, and then he stops and pulls back."

The actor found that scene difficult to shoot and even thought the sequence wasn't necessary in the film. Imran further stated he spent the day shooting it and he found himself to be disturbed after returning home. "I couldn’t sleep, I threw up. I just couldn’t get it out of my head," he recalled.

Later, he had a conversation with his co-star, who was super-chilled about it and put his mind at ease. However, Imran said he has never felt okay about it.
