Katrina Kaif, Ishaan & Siddhant starrer horror drama ‘Phone Bhoot’ to release in mid-2022

One of the highly anticipated films Phone Bhoot starring an ensemble cast, including Katrina Kaif, Ishaan Khatter, and Siddhant Chaturvedi in the lead, has finally got a theatrical release date. The movie directed by Gurmmeet Singh that went on floors last year amid the coronavirus pandemic is slated to hit the screens next year during summers on July 15, 2022.

The film is written by Ravi Shankaran and Jasvinder Singh Bath. Interestingly, the release of Phone Bhoot coincides with that of the iconic film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara that was released on 15th July 2011 and marks Katrina Kaif, Ishaan, and Siddhant Chaturvedi's first film together. Phone Boot is a quirky horror comedy-drama that is sprinkled with equal doses of spook and laughter.
