Sanjay Kapoor, Radhika Apte join the leads in AI poster series

Besides Kaif and Sethupathi, the new set of posters also feature actors Sanjay Kapoor and Radhika Apte who are part of the film’s ensemble cast. Both the actors were also prominently visible in the film’s trailer, adding to the intrigue value around the film’s storyline.

While the Katrina Kaif poster creates a haunting image where the actress is sitting in a dimly lit frame surrounded by countless teddy bears, which creates an eerie feel. Vijay Sethupathi in his poster can be seen suited and looking royal, while a bunch of Origami lights are hung around. 

Sanjay Kapoor’s poster has a sinister vibe to it, where the actor looks intensely towards the viewer, as he is about to cut a birthday cake. In the Radhika Apte poster, on the other hand, the actress is wearing shades, carrying a secretive look on her face, walking through a room filled with christmas tinsel balls.  All these posters create a fascinate collage of merriment and doom.

Merry Christmas was initially slated for December release

Earlier, Merry Christmas was slated for a December release. However, after the makers of Prabhas starrer Salaar decided to release their film on December 22, it changed the schedule for many big films, which included leading South Indian releases as well besides Merry Christmas. Sriram Raghavan’s previous movie Andhadhun, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu and Radhika Apte in leading roles, had released in October 2018 and was a surprise box office success. 

Merry Christmas is being produced by Ramesh S. Taurani under the production banner of Tips Productions, which has been a leading production house for the last 25 years. Co-written by Raghavan and his frequent collaborator Pooja Lodha Surti, Merry Christmas will hit the theatres on January 12.
