Merry Christmas will be released on December 15, 2023, as previously confirmed by the film’s producers. This indicates that Yodha, from Dharma Productions, will now be in direct competition with the Katrina Kaif movie. On December 15, 2023, Karan Johar’s action movie with Sidharth Malhotra will also hit theatres. As he promoted his upcoming film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani on social media shortly after the announcement, Karan Johar published a mysterious post. Now, in reaction, director Onir has said something subtly.
Onir posts a mysterious tweet
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, July 18, National Award-winning director Onir wrote, “Big Bollywood releases get so upset when there is another big budget release the same day and they talk about how we should all care for each other in the industry, but don’t think for a second when they deprive a small budget indie film of a tiny number of good shows to survive.”

Karan Johar’s dissatisfaction with film conflicts
Karan Johar had voiced concern regarding the competition between the flicks Yodha and Merry Christmas. “Clashing on a date without the courtesy of a phone call is hopefully not the way forward for the studios and producers,” he said on the Threads platform. Calling us a fraternity is pointless if we can’t stand together during these difficult and stressful times in theatre.
Merry Christmas is a thriller that Sriram Raghavan directed for the uninitiated. Genre-defying tale has been shot in both Tamil and Hindi for the movie starring Vijay Sethupathi, Radhike Apte, and Katrina Kaif. Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha directed the action-thriller Yodha, on the other hand. Sidharth Malhotra, Disha Patani, and Raashii Khanna are the movie’s leading actors.
Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director Karan Johar is currently busy promoting the movie. After seven years, the filmmaker who won the Padma Shri award is back in charge of the camera. In the movie business, he has now worked for 25 years. On July 28, 2023, the film starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh is scheduled to be released.
