Other than Sacred Games the production house has also produced Ghoul for Netflix that stars Radhika Apte and Manav Kaul in the lead role. Phantom Films was established by Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, Vikas Bahl and Madhu Mantena. They started their own production house because of their failure in convincing every time to someone to invest in the kind of cinema they make. However, in March 2015, Reliance Entertainment picked up a 50 per cent stake in the company. The first film they produced was Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha starrer Lootera which was directed by Motwane and was based on O.Henry’s short story The Last Leaf.
