Mumbai:

Bollywood star Katrina Kaif on Monday said the team of her upcoming film Phone Bhoot received a pat on the back from her actor-husband Vicky Kaushal as he loved the movie's first trailer. Katrina Kaif features in the horror comedy alongside actors Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan. It is directed by Gurmmeet Singh of Mirzapur fame and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's banner Excel Entertainment. The actor said she was able to show the trailer to Kaushal, who she married in December 2021, before its official release.

"Vicky absolutely loved the trailer. He had such a good reaction and that gave us even more confidence and happiness. He feels that the film is something which is fun and people are going to connect to," Katrina Kaif told reporters at the trailer launch event in Mumbai.

According to the 39-year-old actor, the audiences yearn to come to theatres and get entertained by movies.

"I think right now people want to come (to cinemas) and have a good time, watch something funny, and enjoy themselves. That's all we are hoping this film will do," Katrina Kaif said.

Written by Ravi Shankaran and Jasvinder Singh Bath, Phone Bhoot features Katrina Kaif as a ghost with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan Khatter playing a ghostbuster duo.

"I don't watch horror films at all so I don't know how I ended up being in the film," the actor said. Katrina Kaif, one of the top stars of Bollywood, said she found Ishaan and Chaturvedi's enthusiasm for cinema at par with the three Khans of Hindi film industry - Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir.

"The similarity is that the enthusiasm and love for cinema is the same. They (Ishaan and Chaturvedi) are very smart and bright. What I love about them is they are spontaneous and good at improvisation. "For me that was required in a film like this because when you are in a scene you have to see what's working and not just go by the script," she said.

Phone Bhoot is Chaturvedi's second release of 2022 after the critically acclaimed Gehraiyaan.

The actor said his intention is to pick diverse roles and films. "It is a conscious effort to do different characters because I will get bored doing the same thing. If I had to do the same kind of work, then I would have done CA (Chartered Accountancy). "I wanted to explore different things. Hence the previous movie was different and this is a comedy, in which people have not seen me much. I want to surprise everyone," the 29-year-old actor added.

Ishaan said he thoroughly enjoyed working on Phone Bhoot and considers it to be a "buddy film".

"Every film has a world and you need to get into every character. But for this film it was required that we have that banter (between us) and we have tried to have fun with it," he said.

"The exciting thing is Siddhant and I were able to do a buddy film. We have grown up watching films like Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, Andaz Apna Apna and it is a buddy film inside a horror comedy. I was excited to explore this genre," he added.

Producer Farhan Akhtar called Phone Bhoot a "comedy of horrors". According to the producer, there was no harm in exploring the horror comedy further, despite the success and failure of movies such as Stree, Roohi, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Bhoot Police.

"The story has to be good and entertaining. Every kind of film is being made often, like love stories, action, dramas and revenge dramas. This is also a genre, we just have to make sure the story is not the same," he said. During the event, Katrina Kaif was asked to name a celebrity from Bollywood who she would like to haunt as a ghost.

The actor replied, "I would want to haunt Priyanka Chopra for a day to understand how she manages to work as much as she does, fly here, fly there." Phone Bhoot is scheduled to hit the theatres on November 4.

North Korea test-fired a new generation of strategic cruise missile on Wednesday. (Representational) Seoul: North Korea fired several cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea on Wednesday, Seoul's military said, the latest in a series of tension-raising moves by the nuclear-armed state. Hours later, North Korea appeared to confirm the firing, saying it had carried out its first test of a new generation of strategic cruise missiles it is developing, the Pulhwasal-3-31. Pyongyang has accelerated weapons testing in the new year, including tests of what it called an "underwater nuclear weapon system" and a solid-fuelled hypersonic ballistic missile. "Our military detected several cruise missiles launched by North Korea towards the Yellow Sea at around 7:00 am today," the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. Unlike their ballistic counterparts, the testing of cruise missiles is not banned under current UN sanctions against Pyongyang. Cruise...

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
