Merry Christmas and its suspenseful narrative
In the film Merry Christmas, after being away for a while, Albert (Vijay Sethupathi) comes home on Christmas Eve for the uninitiated. As he continues to cope with his mother's death, he decides to go out and enjoy the city's Christmas Eve celebrations. He befriends Maria (Katrina Kaif), a stunning and enigmatic woman, and her mute young daughter. Long talks and strolls in the moonlight ignite an unexpected but indisputable attraction between Albert and Maria. Albert is the perfect partner for Maria. To Albert, Maria is the epitome of a miraculous Christmas present. A romantic evening quickly becomes a nightmare when events take a sinister turn.
Producer Ramesh Taurani stated in an interview with ETimes that they approached Vijay for the film because he suited the role perfectly. Furthermore, Katrina was always their only choice for the role, right from the beginning.
