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.[2] 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.[3] The trailer was released on 25 July 2015.[4] The film is scheduled for release on 28 August 2015.[5]

Cast

Production

Development

Kabir Khan and author S. Hussain Zaidi had come together to collaborate on Kabir's then untitled film, based on the scenario post-26/11 Mumbai attacks with Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif signed in leading roles.[6] The screenplay of the film is an adaptation and is co-written in conjunction with Hussain's then unreleased book.[7] The film earlier had a working title as Daniyal Khan, before being titled Phantom.[8][9] Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif have reportedly learnt Kurdish and Arabic for their roles.[10][11]

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.[12] 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.[13] Due to the country's recent political turmoil, security was provided to the crew.[14]

In January 2014, action sequences were shot in Kashmir near Pahalgam hill station and in a ski resort in Gulmarg for five days.[15] The scenes involved a blast sequence in the peak of winter, when the entire valley was covered in a 10-foot blanket of snow.[16]

In March 2014, filming continued in a small town in Malerkotla, Punjab where the area was recreated to resemble a Pakistani marketplace. The entire area was dressed up to look authentic, complete with Urdu hoarding, posters and flags.[17] The makers narrowed down Malerkotla due to its mosque, local people, narrow lanes and overall architecture, which creates the verisimilitude of a town from Pakistan.[18]

In July 2014, filming resumed in London, United Kingdom near the Houses of Parliament on the banks of River Thames, Charing Cross station, The Oval cricket ground in Lambeth and Ealing road in Wembley.[19][20][21] The next shooting schedule was done in various locations in Vancouver, Canada in August 2014 including the centre of West Hastings and Thurlow streets which involved several high-octane chase sequences.[22][23]

[24]

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.[25][26] An underwater action sequence has been shot by Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif at the Orca Dive Club in Mumbai.[27]

Marketing

The trailer of the film was released online on 25 July 2015.[28] A launch event was held on the same day with the presence of Kabir Khan, Sajid Nadiadwala, Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif.[29]

A promotional song titled 'Afghan Jalebi (Ya Baba) was released on 30 July 2015.[30] The video was choreographed by Ahmed Khan. Other promotional songs, 'Saware' was released on 13 August 2015 and 'Nachda' on 25 August 2015.[31][32]

Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif have also promoted the film on several Indian reality television shows including Dance Plus, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded and Indian Idol Junior.[33][34][35] On 23 August 2015, they made an appearance at the 2015 Pro Kabaddi League Final.[36]

The world premiere of the film is scheduled on the closing night of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne on 27 August 2015.[37]
