Indian Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif, left, and actor Saif Ali Khan pose for photographs during the trailer launch of his upcoming movie 'Phantom' in Mumbai, India, Saturday, July 25, 2015. The upcoming Indian political thriller film is scheduled for release on Aug. 28. (AP)
If 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' is being hailed in India and Pakistan as the film that's cementing India-Pakistan ties, its director Kabir Khan's upcoming film 'Phantom' may just spill more venom between the two nations.
Scroll down for video:
Saif Ali Khan plays Daniyal in the movie, the guy who promises to enter Pakistan the home of Hariz Saeed (a certain character) and kill him.
Well, the hero in his ambitious dialogue delivery says, "If America can get justice by killing Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan, why can't India do the same?"
The film doesn't beat around the bush to show who India thinks the villains are.
'Phantom' has incorporated 26/11 Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed's original speech in the trailer.
Hafiz Saeed is the leader of Jamaat-ud-Dawa, a political party in Pakistan. India believes him to be the man behind the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and the 13/12 Indian Parliament attacks.
Since Bollywood begins where reality ends, this new Kabir Khan film shows Saif, playing an Indian agent, trying to bring down Hariz Saeed ot Hafiz Saeed – mind you.
The trailer has all the markers of a masala thriller, full of jingoism, action and noise.
Oh, the film also has actress Katrina Kaif... why should 'Bond' have all the fun?
Katrina in all her British accent tries hard to speak in Hindi and tries harder to act.
I hope she gets to do an item number, which she is good at, while bullets and bombs go off in the background.
