In an unfortunate turn of events, the newly released film “Merry Christmas,” featuring the dynamic duo of Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi, has fallen victim to online privacy breaches. The HD version of the movie has been illicitly leaked on various platforms, including Tamilrockers and Telegram, posing a significant setback for director Sriram Raghavan’s project that just hit the screens. The immediate availability of the film online is anticipated to impact its box office performance.

Merry Christmas Leaked Online: A Setback for the Film Industry

Filmmakers and actors are grappling with growing concern as their cinematic creations are consistently leaked online on the very day of their release. Not even high-budget productions like Shah Rukh Khan’s “Jawan” and Ranbir Kapoor’s “Animal” have been spared from this rampant piracy. The latest victim of this trend is the much-anticipated “Merry Christmas,” featuring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi, leaked in both Hindi and Tamil languages. While this news casts a shadow over the film’s release, industry insiders are hopeful that the online leak won’t significantly dent the movie’s long-term box office performance.

Amid the privacy concerns, Vicky Kaushal took to social media to shower praise on his wife Katrina Kaif’s remarkable performance in Sriram Raghavan’s film. Through a heartfelt post, he expressed being awestruck by Katrina’s portrayal of the character Maria and commended her exceptional dancing skills showcased in the movie. Vicky proudly proclaimed “Merry Christmas” as one of Katrina’s finest works to date.

The Road Ahead for Katrina Kaif

While awaiting an official announcement regarding her next project, Katrina Kaif’s professional trajectory hinges significantly on the success of “Merry Christmas.” This film comes at a crucial juncture for the actress, considering her recent films like “Phone Bhoot” faced a lackluster box office reception, and “Tiger 3” failed to achieve exceptional success.
