The early 2023 was nothing less than a film festival but this is not it. Some of the biggest and most highly-anticipated films will see their theatrical releases towards the yearend. Merry Christmas, Katrina Kaif's first collaboration with Vijay Sethupathi, has already created a buzz among cinema cognoscenti, who were rooting for the film. However, the makers have changed its release date yet again.
For those uninitiated, Merry Christmas was earlier slated for release on December 23, two days before Christmas. Later, the makers announced December 15 as
its final release date, therefore clashing with Sidharth Malhotra's Yodha at the box office. On October 3, trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter, formerly X, and shared the new release date of Merry Christmas, December 8. The film will now release a week after Ranbir Kapoor's most-awaited film Animal.
Sharing the latest update, Taran Adarsh 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.
