Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Merry Christmas is a unique cinematic experience, with two separate versions of the film in Hindi and Tamil, featuring distinct sets of co-actors. The film’s vintage-themed posters have garnered immense appreciation from fans and celebrities alike, showcasing the film’s attention to detail and artistic vision.
Tips Films and Matchbox Pictures invite you to partake in the merrymaking with some rum cake and sherry. To sing, dance, and get thrilled. Merry Christmas releases worldwide on December 08, 2023.
In a conversation with News18, Sriram Raghavan said, “It’s not one film, it’s two films. There is a Hindi film, which has got Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif and one child along with a few other characters. There is a Tamil film with the same Vijay Sethupathi, Katrina and the child, and the other actors are different.”
He further added, “So I wanted to make a Tamil film also since Vijay is a very acclaimed actor in the South and I thought it will be just good for us to make two versions of this film. They are broadly the same, 95 percent they are the same but of course, language changes, and some characters also I wanted to change so that it doesn’t look like a dubbed film. I am a Tamilian myself so this is one chance so let me also try to make a Tamil film so this is two in one kind of film.”
