Katrina Kaif shared that despite having watched Vijay Sethupathi in the film “96,” she had to Google his name to refresh her memory when he was cast in Sriram Raghavan’s Merry Christmas. Initially, she mistakenly referred to the film as “Class of 83,” but corrected herself. Katrina expressed admiration for Vijay’s distinguished salt-and-pepper look, which she found appealing. She mentioned being familiar with his work from “96” and highlighted the unique and tender moments between him and Trisha that had stayed with her.
According to Katrina, Sriram Raghavan’s decision to cast Vijay in Merry Christmas was intriguing, and she found the idea exciting. She emphasized that while some perceive their pairing as unusual, to her, it feels like two actors coming together for a distinctive story. Regarding Vijay’s stardom, she commended his honesty and fearlessness in his performances, describing him as a gifted artist with a unique vision of life. Merry Christmas is set to release in Hindi and Tamil on January 12.
