Phantom, which is a screen adaptation of S Hussain Zaidi's book Mumbai Avengers, stars Katrina Kaif and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles, is set in the backdrop of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

More than a week before the movie hit screens, Phantom was banned by a court in Pakistan on a plea filed by Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed, who is accused of masterminding 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai. (Also Read: Katrina Kaif: Logical That Pakistan Will Have Problems With Phantom)
