Phantom is an upcoming Indian action-thriller film directed by Kabir Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Siddharth Roy Kapur starring Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif in leading roles.[1] The screenplay of the film has been written in coordination with author Hussain Zaidi's book Mumbai Avengers on the aftermath of 26/11 Mumbai attacks.[2] The trailer was released on 25 July 2015.[3] The film is scheduled for release on 28 August 2015.[4]

Cast

Production

Development

Kabir Khan and author Hussain Zaidi had come together to collaborate on Kabir's then untitled film, based on the scenario after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, and on global terrorism.[5] The screenplay of the film is an adaptation and is co-written in conjunction with Hussain's then unreleased book. Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif[6] were cast in leading roles, as secret agents/mercenaries. Katrina Kaif was selected to play Parsi Indian girl Nawaz Mistry in the film.[7] The film earlier had a working title as Daniyal Khan, before being titled Phantom.[8] Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif have reportedly learnt Kurdish and Arabic for their roles.[9][10]

On 20 August, it was reported that the film was banned from release in Pakistan by the Lahore High Court after a plea was filed by Hafiz Saeed.[11][12]

Filming

Filming began on October 2013 in Beirut, Lebanon. Around 10% of the film was shot in Lebanon in areas including downtown Beirut, the populous area of Khandaq al-Ghameeq, and the mountainous areas of Kfardebian, with the latter two representing Syria.[13] The shoot of the film required a recreation of a Syrian refugee camp, which involved almost 400 locals to act as rebel militias. The sets of the film were so realistic that many people in the area believed actual militia groups had set up camp, and the Lebanese army began circling planes over the set. However the confusion was cleared after the first day.[14] Due to the country's recent political turmoil, security was provided to the crew.[15] A few days into shooting, an accident occurred on the set where two local artists were injured after being hit by a car.[16] Shooting was also done in Gulmarg, Jammu and Kashmir in January 2014,[17][18] and in Malerkotla, Punjab.[19] In August 2014 shooting resumed in London, United Kingdom and Vancouver, Canada.[20] In September 2014 the last schedule of the film was completed in Mumbai, with scenes being shot at the city's eastern ferry wharf, near the Gateway of India, and at Filmistan Studios in the suburb of Goregaon.[21][22] Both Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif have performed intense action sequences, and have not used stunt doubles for most of their scenes, having instead done the scenes themselves.[23] An underwater action sequence has been shot by Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif at the Orca Dive Club in Mumbai.[24] The shooting of the film was completed in 90 days.[25]

Marketing

The trailer of the film was launched in an event in Mumbai on 25 July 2015 with the presence of Kabir Khan, Sajid Nadiadwala, Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif[27] and was released online the same day.[28]

A promotional song titled 'Afghan Jalebi (Ya Baba) was released on 30 July 2015 as a platform to promote and increase the film's visibility to the audience prior to its release. The music video featured the film's female lead, Katrina Kaif surrounded by a group of singers and dancers, the song was choreographed by Ahmed Khan (choreographer). The song was shot at Mehboob Studio in Mumbai.[29] Despite being known for her immensely popular dance numbers in Bollywood films, Katrina Kaif had to give dancing a miss in the song as she had to stay true to her character as a spy who works for an American security agency and the theme of the film which is a hardcore intense action thriller.[30]

The worldwide premiere of the film is scheduled for the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne on its closing night, 27 August 2015.[31]

Soundtrack

Untitled

The soundtrack of the film is composed by Pritam Chakraborty, Komail Shayan (KK) while lyrics are by Amitabh Bhattacharya and Kausar Munir.[32][33] The music rights have been acquired by T-Series[34] [35]
