Previously, the filmmaker released the poster of Merry Christmas, revealing that the film will release Hindi and Tamil. Speaking with News18 exlcusively earlier this year, Sriram said that while both versions will be a little different from each other.

"It’s not one film, it’s two films. There is a Hindi film, which has got Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif and one child along with a few other characters. There is a Tamil film with the same Vijay Sethupathi, Katrina and the child, and the other actors are different. So I wanted to make a Tamil film also since Vijay is a very acclaimed actor in the South and I thought it will be just good for us to make two versions of this film. They are broadly the same, 95 per cent they are the same but of course, language changes and some characters also I wanted to change so that it doesn’t look like a dubbed film," he said.
