A lot is being said about the upcoming Saif Ali Khan – Katrina Kaif starrer political action thriller ‘Phantom’. In fact ever since the launch of its first look posters a couple of days back, social networks have been buzzing about the film. Now we hear that Kabir Khan’s next will also feature late star Dev Anand’s niece Sohaila Kapur who is also Shekhar Kapur’s sister.

Confirming the same, Sohaila stated that she will be seen playing the role of a Pakistani widow whose teenage son has been kidnaped by terrorists and is being trained to become one. However despite the limited scope of her character, we also hear that it will most definitely not be a blink and miss role, instead Sohaila’s role is a rather integral part of the climax.
