The trailer of ‘Phone Booth,’ starring Katrina Kaif, Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi, is out. The actors have been keeping fans guessing about the seemingly whacky horror-comedy with new posters and teasers.
According to the Indian Express, the trailer released yesterday 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.
Earlier, Katrina had shared a video, where she plays with a toy car that sees Siddhant and Ishaan inside it. The clip began with the two gettings excited inside the car, and as they start looking around, she picks up the car. They also shared quirky posters of the trio.
Katrina was last seen in ‘Sooryavanshi’ with Akshay Kumar, while Siddhant starred in the domestic noir thriller Gehraiyaan which received polarised reviews. On the other hand, Ishaan Khatter was last seen in ‘Khali Peeli’ with Ananya Panday.
