Phone Bhoot’: Trailer of Katrina Kaif, Ishan Khatter, Siddhant Chaturvedi’s horror comedy out

The trailer of the upcoming horror comedy film Phone Bhoot was unveiled by the makers on Monday. Helmed by Gurmmeet Singh and written by Ravi Shankaran and Jasvinder Singh Bath, the film stars Katrina Kaif, Ishaan Khatter, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Jackie Shroff in the lead roles.

The trailer sees Katrina Kaif as a ghost and has a mission for Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi who seem to be the desi version of Ghostbusters, and she wants them to take down an eerie Jackie Shroff or ‘Aatma Ram’ as he’s called. The film ticks off everything that one would expect from a Bollywood horror comedy — slapstick comedy, item songs, a female ghost with feet facing the other side and some questionable moments of seriousness thrown in. There is also a dig at poor Hindi, ironically delivered by Katrina herself. As a ghost, played by Sheeba Chaddha, is unable to say ‘moksh’, Katrina deadpans, “Tumhari Hindi weak hai?” The trailer is peppered with references from older Bollywood films, including Koi Mil Gayaa and Siddhant’s 2019 film, Gully Boy. Considering Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’s success, this might just be another victory in this genre.
