Phantom First Look Is A Copy Of Video Game Cover?

Bollywood directors and actors are really fond of Hollywood movies and actors and we are already known of it. In fact Bollywood has also started a trend where Hollywood remakes are considered more than our original content. But now the industry has reached a level where they are inspired of Hollywood posters more.

With the recent poster released of Kabir Khan’s Phantom starring Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif, we got our hands on a similar Hollywood game poster ‘Homefront’. Looks like the Phantom poster was inspired from this cover picture of a first-person video game Homefront, that has a similar cover where the man is blindfolded with bruised and battered look.

Homefront is a first-person shooter video game developed by Kaos Studios and published by THQ. The game tells the story of a resistance movement fighting against a near-future foreign military occupation of the Western United States.
