Director Kabir Khan is all excited to work with Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif in his upcoming venture produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Phantom.

"Saif is a superstar and a good actor. He's intelligent and well-read; he'd also research international affairs. That's very good for the film as the story moves from Beirut to the US to Kashmir and Punjab," says Kabir. He is no less of words of praises for the beautiful Katrina too. While he thinks she suits the role perfectly, he thinks that she has worked her way up and has evolved as an actress.

He also is thankful to Sajid for having the vision and ability to ensure that, there is no compromise on the storytelling.

The action-thriller revolves around events post the 26/11 counter-terrorism.
