New Delhi: The release date of Merry Christmas, starring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi, has been moved up to December 8 from December 15.
Because of a scheduling conflict with Yodha, an action film starring Sidharth Malhotra, the film’s creators have settled on a new release date. Film critic and industry insider Taran Adarsh announced the new release date for Merry Christmas on his official X account, which is set for December 8.
He wrote, “KATRINA KAIF – VIJAY SETHUPATHI: ‘MERRY CHRISTMAS’ TO ARRIVE ONE WEEK EARLY… 8 Dec 2023 is the new release date of #MerryChristmas, which teams #KatrinaKaif and #VijaySethupathi for the first time.
