Vijay Sethupathi, the National Award-winning actor known for his versatility and boundary-pushing performances, recently captivated audiences with his diverse roles in projects like “Farzi” and “Jawan.” He continues his trend of intriguing characters with the upcoming “Merry Christmas,” releasing on January 12th, 2024.
Sethupathi, alongside Katrina Kaif, takes the lead in this film directed by the acclaimed Sriram Raghavan. His willingness to work across languages based on the merit of the character remains evident, as recently revealed by reports of a potential collaboration with Ram Charan for Buchi Babu Sana’s upcoming film.
While Sethupathi and Babu Sana previously collaborated on the successful “Uppena,” new reports suggest negotiations for this new project hit a snag due to Vijay’s remuneration demands. His reported asking price of 30 crores in remuneration reportedly surprised the team.
Negotiations between Vijay and the producers are reportedly ongoing, leaving the potential collaboration in question. Adding to the film’s anticipation is the confirmed involvement of music maestro AR Rahman and Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar in a pivotal role.
With shooting slated to begin after Ram Charan completes his work on “Game Changer,” currently scheduled for release in September 2024, fans await further developments on this promising project and whether or not Vijay Sethupathi’s captivating talents will grace the screen alongside Ram Charan.
