After Andhadhun, Sriram Raghavan Is Back With 'Merry Christmas' But Karan Johar Is Unhappy
It¡¯s a year of biggies clashing. The second half of 2023 is all set to see some of the biggest films facing off at the box office. Where the most recent one is Sunny Deol¡¯s Gadar 2 and Akshay Kumar¡¯s OMG 2 which will arrive in theatres on 11th August. The next in line is Vicky Kaushal¡¯s Sam Bahadur which will clash with Ranbir Kapoor¡¯s Animal on 1st December.
What is seeking headlines right now is another big clash that has been announced yesterday.
The makers of Katrina Kaif¡¯s upcoming film Merry Christmas have announced their release date and it has eventually clashed with Sidharth Malhotra¡¯s Yodha. Both the films will now arrive together on 15th December. Well, this news hasn¡¯t gone down well with the filmmaker Karan Johar and he¡¯s upset.
He took to Instagram Threads and wrote, ¡°Clashing on a date without the courtesy of a phone call is hopefully not the way forward for the studios and producers ¡. If we don¡¯t stand united in these tough and challenging theatrical days then calling us a fraternity is futile¡.¡±
It somehow seems like a dig at Sriram Raghavan and Ramesh Taurani, who are co-producing this Vijay Sethupathi starrer.
The comment section has a lot of thoughts for and against Karan¡¯s views.
One user wrote, ¡°And not to forget you too clashed with Ajay¡¯s shivaay and even released simbaa just a week post zero. So it¡¯s fine Karan movies do clash it¡¯s normal.¡±
¡°Where was the fraternity and all the support when he clashed ADHM with Shivaay?¡±
¡°How fruitful is it for the fraternity when some powerful producers are proud of the fact that they actively tried to sabotage the careers of budding actors because they wanted someone else in their place?¡±
¡°Instead of cribbing, you could have gone 'Barbieheimer' way. Look how they tackled the clash beautifully. But Bollywood is Bollywood, you guys will tear down each other's films by planting fake stories through PR instead of supporting each other. Every clash doesn't have to be ugly.¡±
On the work front, Katrina will next be seen in Farhan Akhtar¡¯s upcoming film ¡®Jee Le Zara¡¯. The film will follow the lines of ¡®Dil Chahta Hai¡¯ and ¡®Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara¡¯ to recreate another tale of friendship. Further, she has ¡®Tiger 3¡¯ opposite Salman Khan which will release on Diwali this year.

Vijay Sethupathi, on the other hand, will soon be seen in Atlee¡¯s ¡®Jawan¡¯ which is all set to release on 7th September. Rolling back to Sidharth¡¯s ¡®Yodha¡¯, then the film also stars Disha Patani and Rashii Khanna in pivotal roles. Sidharth will further make his web series debut with Rohit Shetty¡¯s ¡®Indian Police Force¡¯.
