The makers of Merry Christmas dropped a new ‘twist’ trailer on Tuesday following the release of the Vijay Sethupathi-Katrina Kaif-starrer on January 12, providing a fresh glimpse into the Sriram Raghavan directorial from the perspective of Katrina’s character.
Set to Italian composer Vivaldi’s Winter section from his violin concerti The Four Seasons, the new trailer introduces us to Katrina’s Maria who is at a restaurant with her little daughter. She gazes at Vijay’s Albert sitting across from them. “Christmas ke dino mein kisi ko akele nahi hona chahiye (No one should be alone on Christmas),” Katrina mutters as she comes out of a theatre with the little girl and Albert in tow.
We also get to see other characters from the film such as Sanjay Kapoor’s M and Radhika Apte, adding to the adrenaline rush with their intriguing presence. The trailer ends with a hint that a third person was waiting inside Katrina’s apartment when Katrina and Vijay returned there after their Christmas eve date.
Sharing the new trailer on Instagram, Katrina wrote, “The story of this Christmas is far from merry. Presenting the twist in the tale
#MerryChristmas in cinemas now.”
The previous Hindi trailer, released on December 20, was completely depicted from the perspective of Vijay, who has been living in “sweet anticipation” for meeting someone like Katrina until things turned awry. It also featured other cast members like Vinay Pathak, Pratima Kannan, Ashwini Kalsekar and Tinnu Anand.
Produced by Ramesh Taurani, Sanjay Routray, Jaya Taurani and Kewal Garg under the banner of Matchbox Pictures, Merry Christmas is currently running in cinemas.
