During the promotions of his film Merry Christmas, Vijay appeared for an interview with Humans of Cinema along with his co-star Katrina Kaif and director Sriram Raghavan. Responding to Raghavan’s question about his favourite film, Vijay said, “I like Ek Hasina Thi, Badlapur and of course Andhadhun.”
He said, “If you ask me, I loved Badlapur. I loved the way the film was written and made. I was hoping someone would remake the film in Tamil and I would ask for the opportunity.”
Furthermore, the Super Deluxe actor also recalled his meeting with Sriram Raghavan in Melbourne and how he always wanted to work with him. Sethupathi’s wish finally came true with Merry Christmas.
