Filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala, who has roped in director Kabir Khan to helm the tentatively titled project "Phantom" starring Katrina Kaif and Saif Ali Khan, has his hopes pinned on the unique combination of talent in the film.

Kabir has earlier directed Katrina in "Ek Tha Tiger". "Phantom" is an action-thriller, said a source close to the project.

"This time, we have put our belief in Kabir Khan and we are pleased to work with Saif, Katrina and Kabir for the first time," Nadiadwala said in a statement.


After "Ek Tha Tiger", Kabir continues to shoot at locations which are difficult and real. For "Phantom", he has shot some parts in Beirut.
