Vijay Sethupathi,Katrina Merry Christmas postponed again. The much-anticipated release date for the film "Merry Christmas," featuring the dynamic duo of Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi, has been officially confirmed for January 12, 2024. While the title suggested a Christmas release, the filmmakers strategically postponed it to avoid clashing with other films. A freshly unveiled poster, featuring Katrina and Vijay, captures an intriguing moment in a restaurant, with Katrina seated and Vijay discreetly observing her from a nearby table.
Radhika Apte, who plays a pivotal role in the film, took to Instagram to share the news and the new poster. She expressed her excitement, stating, "The wait is almost over! Merry Christmas is making your winter merrier on January 12, 2024."
Katrina Kaif herself shared another captivating poster on her Instagram Stories. This poster depicts Vijay in contemplation with three portraits of Katrina adorning the wall behind him, adding an air of mystery to the narrative.
The journey to finalize the release date has seen several postponements, with the film initially slated to clash with Sidharth Malhotra's "Yodha" on December 8. Both films wisely rescheduled to avoid competition with Ranbir Kapoor's "Animal," set to hit theaters on December 1.
Directed by Sriram Raghavan, renowned for his work in "Andhadhun," the Merry Christmas team, in a joint statement, expressed their deep love for the project and their unwavering commitment to delivering an exceptional cinematic experience. The filmmakers explained, "We have made this film with a lot of love & passion like every filmmaker does. However, with the back-to-back movie releases and the packed last two months of 2023, we have taken the decision to extend the season of joy and bring our film to theaters on January 12, 2024."
