Phantom is an action
thriller set against the backdrop of 26/11. Katrina being one
of the most stylish and beautiful actresses we have, we wondered what
made Kabir Khan cast her in such a tough, non-glamourous
environment. Talking to Kabir, we found our answer. Kabir started as a
documentary filmmaker in many confront zones (be it Afghanistan, Bosnia,
Israel and such), during which time he interacted with a lot of aid
workers and journalists. He saw that intelligence agencies tend to
recruit people from such
aid agencies as one, they tend to get visas easier and two, they usually
get access to areas which many a time others don't get access to. So he
decided to model her character in Phantom based on these aid workers.
Her character is London based who has spent time all over the world. He
wanted a certain international feel to her character and therefore,
based on her physicality and persona, she fit the role perfectly.
Interestingly, she is playing a Parsi Indian girl. She is part of an
international aid network and gets recruited in the mission to avenge
Mumbai and bring retribution for 26/11.
