Merry Christmas release date: The much-awaited pan-India film ‘Merry Christmas’ featuring Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif and South superstar Vijay Sethupathi has made a surprising change in its release date. Initially planned to grace the theatres on the festive occasion of Christmas, the film will now be released earlier, on December 15, 2023.
The Star-Studded Universe of ‘Merry Christmas’
Directed by the celebrated Sriram Raghavan, known for his works such as ‘Johnny Gaddaar’, ‘Badlapur’, and ‘Andhadhun’, ‘Merry Christmas’ marks Katrina’s debut in Tamil cinema. The film, projected as a “genre-defying tale”, is being shot in two languages with different casts, adding another layer of intrigue.
A Diplomatic Move to Avoid a Tinseltown Clash?
The rescheduling of ‘Merry Christmas’ has enabled it to dodge a direct box office confrontation with the megastar Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film ‘Dunki’. This move suggests a strategic decision, avoiding a clash that could impact the box office performance of both films.
The Enigmatic Narrative of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dunki’
Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dunki‘, a comedy-drama, is helmed by acclaimed director Rajkumar Hirani and co-stars Taapsee Pannu. Although details of ‘Dunki’ are still under wraps, Shah Rukh Khan shared a brief insight about the film in an interview, describing it as a story of people who yearn to return home. This intriguing narrative is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 23, 2023.
In a nutshell, the upcoming films ‘Merry Christmas’ and ‘Dunki’ have their unique narratives ready to captivate the audience. With ‘Merry Christmas’ shifting its release date to avoid a clash with ‘Dunki’, it’ll be fascinating to watch these films compete for audience attention in their own timelines.
