There was news that Imran had had the tattoo done especially for Kidnap in keeping with his tough and rugged look in the film. Turns out that that isn't true after all!
Not many know that the tattoo is a permanent one, which he had done from a guy in Mumbai's Colaba area many years back when tattoo parlours weren't around.
Laughs Imran, "It's one of those things I had done when I was seventeen. It's permanent. We had to hide it in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na as it wasn't in keeping with my character. But my director (Sanjay Gadhvi) felt it went well with the tone of Kabir in Kidnap and decided to show it!"
The clarification should put the mystery behind Imran's tattoo to rest!
