Radiant in a captivating black saree, Katrina Kaif stole the show at the Red Sea International Film Festival, where the focus shifted to her recent action blockbuster, "Tiger 3." Praised for her impressive action sequences and compelling portrayal of Zoya, Katrina delved into discussions about her upcoming project with Vijay Sethupathi, the eagerly awaited suspense thriller "Merry Christmas."

Sharing glimpses from the prestigious Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah, Katrina expressed admiration for the grand celebration curated by hosts @jomanaaalrashid and @moalturki, leaving her with cherished memories.

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

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

Regarding speculations about a potential Zoya spin-off from the "Tiger" series, Katrina maintained secrecy, stating, "I can’t speak of it" in an interview with Pinkvilla, hinting at the project's confidential nature.

As for "Merry Christmas," initially set 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.
