Katrina Kaif is busy with the shoot of Fitoor with Aditya Roy Kapur, among others. But before that, her Phantom with Saif Ali Khan will be hitting the screens. While one hears that Phantom has 26/11 as the core theme, hence being as topical as it gets with the threat of terrorism looming large, Katrina terms the film as more of a thriller than an action affair.
She says:
The film is a thriller with a very intricately woven story. As for the terrorism angle then yes, it is quite centric to the film.That’s where the challenge was for the film. How do you make an entertainer while treating a subject like this with sensitivity? How do you make a thriller when you are telling a tale that has its germ in realism? I guess this is where Kabir Khan‘s storytelling and narrative comes into picture.
Post Phantom, it will be break from the world of thrillers and action, though, as she moves on to , which will be her next release.
Yeah, Jagga Jasoos is definitely not an action film. It is set in a quirky world of Anurag Basu, just like the way it was with his sweet Barfi!
The fact that it stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead is only a cherry on top. Right, Katrina?
