Phone Bhoot: Where Did Budget Go, Ask Ishaan Khatter And Siddhant Chaturvedi. Enter Katrina Kaif...

The film will release on November 4

Did Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi read the script of Phone Bhoot before filming it? Or did they just sign it because of Katrina Kaif? The duo discuss these questions with a dash of subtle comedy in the latest promotional video for Phone Bhoot. But it is not so usual. The clip starts with Siddhant and Ishaan sitting for an interview (at least that's what they thought) and making fun of each other when asked what was their process for the film and who they think is a better actor. On record, Siddhant and Ishaan said they read the script thoroughly but as soon as they cross-check that the mic was off, they had a laugh about not checking the screenplay due to endorsement duties. Ishaan then added, “Maine tabhi haan kardi thi, jab Katrina [Kaif] ne haan kiya tha (I signed when Katrina Kaif said yes to do the film) and Siddhant agreed.  So, who was the prankster on set? “Katrina Kaif was the chhupa rustam,” said Ishaan. He added, "She used to keep pranking us, she would not come out of the van,” followed by an awkward silence and affirmation by Siddhant. 

Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi also made fun of production house Excel Entertainment over their fees. “Mujhe toh bola tha ki badi film hogi (I was told it will be a ‘big' film),” said Siddhant. Then, Ishaan added, “Mujhe bhi yahi bola tha. Pata nahi film ki budget kaha udaa diya (I was told the same. Don't know where they have spent the big budget of the film).” Just then, entered Katrina Kaif and all the focus diverted towards her. Hey Ishaan, hope you got it now. Katrina is your answer to the "budget" question.

As soon as Katrina Kaif entered the set, Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi were told that their segment was a “light rehearsal” and the team will shoot the actual interview now. Their reactions will leave you in splits.
