A case was filed on yet to be released Bollywood film ‘Phantom’ starring Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead role. This directorial venture by successful director Kabir Khan deals with the ‘Mumbai Ataacks of 26/11 and the masterminds behind it. Obviously the mention of the terrorist leaders has irked Pak based militant groups.

One such militant group leader Hafiz Mohammad Saeed could find direct references to him in the film and hence filed case against the film that it should be banned in Pakistan terming it as anti-Pakistan.Earlier Pakistan High Court asked the Censor Board to give clarification on the claims of Saeed.
Finally, the Pakistan court banned ‘Phantom’ from screening in Pakistan as the film deals with Pak-based terrorism in India and the trailer already has shown glimpses of several terrorist leaders with similarities to their names even.
