Halloween might be over but Bollywood still has a comedy-horror in store with a brand-new trio and an interesting plot. The film releases this week and aims to show a new side of all the actors who have so far given some serious performances.
Jasvinder Singh Bath and Ravi Shankaran wrote the script for Phone Bhoot, directed by Gurmmeet Singh. Excel Entertainment, led by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, produced it.
Phone Bhoot Plot And Cast
According to the two minutes and 50-second-long ">teaser, Katrina Kaif plays a lovely ghost who pitches a business idea to two naive men who want to be "Bhootbusters" (played by Ishan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi), following which a comedy of errors starts.
The movie features item music, slapstick humour, a female ghost with her feet facing the other way, and a few suspiciously profound moments sprinkled throughout. Additionally, Kaif delivers a satirical dig at poor Hindi."Tumhari Hindi weak hai," deadpans Kaif as a ghost, played by Sheeba Chaddha, who is unable to speak "moksh". The trailer has numerous allusions to classic Bollywood movies like Koi Mil Gaya and Siddhant Chaturvedi's famous Gully Boy.
Ishaan Khatter, Jackie Shroff, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Katrina Kaif play the leading actors in the film. Sheeba Chadha, Nidhi Bisht, Manu Rishi Chadha, Kedar Shankar, Manuj Sharma, Shrikant Verma, and Surendra Thakur are also included in the cast of the movie.
Siddhant Chaturvedi told News 18 recently about the fun he had working with Katrina Kaif, “I would say it’s amazing working with her. She might look innocent, but she is a prankster."They(Siddhant and Ishan) were her favourite targets because they were both juniors, and working with her was enjoyable, he added." I had a lot to learn from her. I think she ranks among the most diligent actors I have ever worked with," he further told.
Phone Bhoot will be released in theatres on November 4, 2022.
