During the conversation, Katrina called Vijay a “gifted” artist while speaking about his stardom. She said, “I think he has a lot of honesty in what he does. He is very unafraid of what he is doing. He has a unique vision of life and I think that comes across in his performances. He has a unique way og seeing life. And I think he is a gifted artist.”

 

Meanwhile, Sriram clarified that initially, he did offer the film to Saif Ali Khan but when things changed in the creation of the story. He asserted, “When I was looking at it, I was looking at a Hindi film, no Tamil version and all. I was thinking of Saif because I have worked with him in a couple of movies earlier. So, I thought it might be interesting. I met him and he liked the subject, he liked it very much.”

 

Merry Christmas is all set to release on the big screen on January 12, 2024. Produced by Ramesh Taurani, Sanjay Routray, Jaya Taurani & Kewal Garg, Merry Christmas is a collaboration between Tips Films and Matchbox Pictures. It has been shot in Tamil and Hindi simultaneously.
