In anticipation of the upcoming release of the Hindi film ‘Merry Christmas,’ featuring Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif in lead roles, the stars joined forces to unveil the movie’s music track on January 4. The film, directed by Sriram Raghavan, is set to hit theaters on January 12, 2024.
Reflecting on their first meeting, Katrina Kaif shared her impressions of Vijay Sethupathi, noting that the actor’s appearance differed from her initial expectations. She expressed fascination with the ‘Viduthalai’ actor’s insights into the film during their interaction at the event. Katrina found humor in seeing Vijay Sethupathi in a youthful appearance, contrary to her preconceived notion of him with white hair and a beard based on circulating photos. Her immediate reaction upon meeting him was, “Oh wow, that’s a different look.”
Expressing enthusiasm for collaborating with Vijay Sethupathi and director Sriram Raghavan, Katrina conveyed her excitement for the thriller genre. The film’s cast also includes Radhika Apte, Ashwini Kalasekar, Sanjay Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Pratima Kannan, and Tinnu Anand in Hindi. Meanwhile, the Tamil version features Radhika Sarathkumar, Shanmugaraja, Keviin Jay Babu, and Rajesh Williams. Despite sharing the same storyline, the cast differs between the Tamil and Hindi versions. ‘Merry Christmas’ is slated for a dual release in Tamil and Hindi on January 12, 2024.
