Dazzling in a striking black saree, Katrina Kaif captivated audiences at the Red Sea International Film Festival, where the spotlight shone on her recent action blockbuster, "Tiger 3." Applauded for her remarkable action sequences and compelling portrayal of Zoya, Katrina engaged in discussions about her next venture alongside Vijay Sethupathi, the much-anticipated suspense thriller "Merry Christmas."

Sharing snapshots from the esteemed Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah, Katrina expressed awe at the grand celebration orchestrated by hosts @jomanaaalrashid and @moalturki, reflecting on the event with fond memories.

Reflecting on her collaboration with Vijay Sethupathi in "Merry Christmas," Katrina revealed, "Working with him has always been a dream, and I got the chance in Merry Christmas." Describing it as an incredible yet arduous experience, she emphasized the challenging nature of her role in the multilingual film, shot in both Tamil and Hindi.

Recalling the linguistic hurdles, Katrina shared, "In the Tamil version, I spoke in Tamil, adding an extra layer of excitement and challenge. Vijay Sethupathi, my co-star, was fantastic, seamlessly transitioning between Hindi and Tamil versions."

Amidst speculations about a potential spin-off for her character Zoya from the "Tiger" series, Katrina remained tight-lipped, stating, "I can’t speak of it" in an interview with Pinkvilla, alluding to the secrecy surrounding the project.

As for "Merry Christmas," originally scheduled for a December 2023 release, the film's premiere was rescheduled to January 2024 to avoid clashes with other high-profile releases in the same month. This decision underscores the anticipation and strategic planning surrounding this much-discussed suspense thriller.
