It
was
earlier
reported
that
a
dance
number's
shoot
for
the
Katrina
Kaif,
Ishaan
Khatter
and
Siddhant
Chaturvedi
starrer
Phone
Bhoot
had
been
cancelled
due
to
the
sudden
rise
in
the
COVID-19
cases
during
December-end
and
the
first
week
of
January.
Not
only
Phone
Bhoot
but
several
movies
had
their
shootings
stalled
or
postponed
because
of
the
Omicron
scare.
However,
now
that
the
cases
are
on
a
decrease
again,
one
hears
that
Katrina
Kaif
has
bounced
back
to
rehearse
for
the
dance
number
in
her
horror-comedy
film.
According
to
a
news
report
in
Etimes,
Katrina
Kaif
is
back
on
the
sets
of
Phone
Bhoot
and
is
rehearsing
for
the
dance
number
at
Yash
Raj
Studios.
The
track
will
be
choreographed
by
Ganesh
Hegde
and
will
also
star
Ishaan
Khatter
and
Siddhant
Chaturvedi.
The
report
further
added
that
the
song
was
supposed
to
be
shot
in
December
2021
but
was
put
on
hold
due
to
the
rise
in
the
number
of
cases.
The
report
quoted
a
source
from
Bollywood
to
reveal,
"All
the
shootings
that
were
on
hold
are
likely
to
resume
by
the
end
of
the
month,
as
cases
in
Maharashtra
have
begun
to
reduce.
It
has
brought
back
the
confidence
in
the
film
industry
to
return
to
work."
Apart
from
Phone
Booth,
a
song
from
the
movie
Rocky
Aur
Rani
Ki
Prem
Kahani
starring
Alia
Bhatt
and
Ranveer
Singh
was
also
stalled
for
the
same
reason.
Reportedly,
the
song
will
also
be
shot
soon.
It
was
earlier
reported
that
the
dance
track
from
Phone
Bhoot
could
not
be
shot
earlier
because
there
is
a
need
for
at
least
100
background
dancers
in
the
movie
which
made
it
all
the
more
difficult
to
shoot
for
the
same
amidst
the
rise
in
the
number
of
COVID-19
cases.
Talking
about
Phone
Bhoot,
the
film
is
scheduled
to
release
in
the
theatres
on
July
15,
2022.
Helmed
by
Gurmmeet
Singh,
penned
by
Ravi
Shankaran
and
Jasvinder
Singh
Bath,
Phone
Bhoot
is
Excel
Entertainment's
newest
offering
after
Gully
Boy
and
Toofaan.
Interestingly,
the
release
date
of
Phone
Booth
coincides
with
that
of
the
iconic
Zindagi
Na
Milegi
Dobara
that
was
released
on
15th
July
2011
and
marks
Katrina
Kaif,
Ishaan
Khatter
and
Siddhant
Chaturvedi's
first
movie
together.
