Merry Christmas is due to enter theaters on January 12, and the early reviews from the Tamil market are excellent. According to a recent tweet sent by Sridevi Sreedhar on the microblogging site Twitter (now X), Merry Christmas will have a nice start in Tamil. The contents of the tweet were as follows: “#MerryChristmas (Tamil) gets good response from audiences at a special screening in Chennai” .
Meanwhile, Vijay Sethupathi told Indian Express that he had never anticipated working with Katrina Kaif. I’m a huge Katrina fan. I couldn’t convey how delighted I was when I saw her on the first day. She is a really thoughtful actor. She has a lot of questions. She thinks a lot. She is really committed. She comes up with a concept and is willing to adapt. Even if she cannot accept your ideas, she will listen to them. She will put in a lot of effort to improve a situation. That is why she is in the industry, not only because she is attractive, but also because she is intelligent. You cannot thrive for long on the basis of attractiveness alone. There should be logic and comprehension. “I felt it while I was working with her.”
