Why did Katrina Kaif google her Merry Christmas co-star Vijay Sethupathi?
During a recent interaction with Bollywood Hungama, Katrina Kaif talked about Vijay Sethupathi’s acting skills. She said, “I had actually first really noticed in the film class of 83… Is it class of 83 or 83?” Vijay then clarified that the film’s name was 96. She then continued, “96, sorry. That’s a few years off but… I had actually loved that film 96.”
While she loved the movie, Katrina googled Sethupathi’s name because she had to refresh her memory. She said, “I just googled him straight away, just to refresh my memory. And the first image that came up on Instagram was this very distinguished salt and pepper kind of silver hair, which, for me, I loved.”
This is the first time Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi share the screen space. Many are finding the pairing unusual, but not Katrina. She said, “To me, it feels like two actors coming together for a very unusual story.” Moreover, she revealed how her friends and family were thrilled to hear about the casting.
Merry Christmas will be released on January 12, 2024.
