I was shooting in Afghanistan in 2001, post 9/11. America was shelling the country and all the normal ways to enter the country were closed. So, we bribed the pilot of a Russian military helicopter who was flying medical help to Kabul, but 40 minutes into the ride, he asked us to jump off.

As opposed to 'Ek Tha Tiger,' which was a glamourised peek into the world of intelligence agents, Phantom is more real. It does not have the usual trappings of 'spies.' This is more about the people involved.
