Monday, 17th Aug 2015, 6:01 PM IST Saif Ali Khan, who plays a Muslim character in the film ‘Phantom’, says that with the film they wanted to show that Indian Muslims also feel patriotic. Saif said, "We haven't stressed much that he is an Indian Muslim, but according to me, it holds substantial importance as an undercurrent influence. Kabir Khan, I and Sajid Nadiadwala are all Indian Muslims. So in a way, we wanted to show that Indian Muslims also feel patriotic." Talking about his character, the actor said, "He is terminated from the army as he is accused of cowardice. He stays in Kashmir in a depressed state, having differences with his father and others. After numerous attacks, RAW thinks we are not responding enough and we need to hire a crazy person to go there and attack the way they attack. He accepts as he wants to regain his respect and prove his worth to his father. His journey in the mission and if he is successful or not is what the film is about.” The movie also stars Katrina Kaif in the lead role and will be releasing on 28th Aug.
