‘Merry Christmas’ which is Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif’s first movie together is now scheduled for release in 2023. Sanjay Kapoor, Tinnu Anand, Vinay Pathak also play important characters in the film. The movie will be produced by Ramesh Taurani and Sanjay Routray production.
‘Merry Christmas’ was scheduled to hit the theaters on the 23rd of December 2022. It would have clashed with Tiger Shroff’s ‘Ganapath’ and Ranveer Singh’s ‘Cirkus’ if the release date was kept the same. However, the dates are now postponed. The clash and competition would have harmed the business of the film, now the makers are looking for an ideal date that will provide the film with an open window at the box office.
‘Merry Christmas’ is directed by well known director Sriram Raghavan who is loved for writing and directing masterpieces like ‘Andhadhun’, ‘Badlapur’, ‘Agent Vinod’ and many more. This is also the first time that the director is working with Sethupathi and Katrina.
Vijay Sethupathi’s popularity is increasing day by day in the North Indian belt too. He has gained massive fame with his wonderful performances in ‘Vikram’, ‘Master’, ’96’, ‘Super Deluxe’ and many more. He steps into Bollywood with Atlee’s ‘Jawan’ where he will play the antagonist opposite Shahrukh Khan’s protagonist. ‘Merry Christmas’ will most probably be his second Bollywood venture. Sethupathi, alongside the female superstar of India make this film special and fans eagerly wait for the release. Sethupathi’s script choices are wonderful and there is hope that ‘Merry Christmas’ will be something different from the regular Bollywood masala.
