Censor Board initially rejected posters of Katrina Kaif, Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Phantom’

'Phantom' filmmakers had initially used proper flags for blindfolding, which was rejected by the Censor Board.

The ‘Phantom’ posters depict both the lead actors Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif battered, bruised and blindfolded by the tricolour.

The first look of Kabir Khan’s ‘Phantom’ featuring Katrina Kaif and Saif Ali Khan is out and already creating the much required buzz. The posters depict both the lead actors battered, bruised and blindfolded by the tricolour.

However, the makers had initially used proper flags for blindfolding, which was rejected by the Censor Board. The team then removed the Ashoka Chakra from the flag, which got a nod from the censor Board.
