Earlier, while promoting the film Katrina Kaif said that she always wanted to work with Sriram Raghavan and it was a great experience to be part of his film. She said, “I`ve always wanted to work with Sriram Raghavan. I`m his fan and wanted to be a part of the movies he makes; being part of this film is amazing because I had an opportunity to be part of a lovely story, and `Merry Christmas` is always going to be a film I am tremendously proud of and close to my heart.”
On sharing her experience of working with Vijay, she added, “It was fantastic. Vijay is the best performer. During the first week of rehearsals, I was quite interested in his thought process and how he looked at every scene. Sriram sir gave the actors a lot of space before the shoot, and we had a lot of discussion. When I watched the final result, what I saw between Vijay sir and my character was surprising.”
`Merry Christmas` is a bilingual film and has been released in theatres in Hindi and Tamil.
