Karan Johar miffed over Katrina’s ‘Merry Christmas’ clashing with ‘Yodha’
Karan Johar’s Yodha was initially supposed to come in theatres on July. But the movie that saw a reshuffling of dates finally settled on December 15, 2023. Now, the makers of ‘Merry Christmas’ announced that the movie is coming on the same date. Katrina Kaif is having two big releases in 2023 namely ‘Tiger 3’ and ‘Merry Christmas’. The actress’ last release was ‘Phone Booth’ in 2022. The movie tanked badly. ‘Merry Christmas’ has her pairing with Sriram Raghavan and Vijay Sethupathi for the first time. There is immense excitement around the movie. But it looks like Karan Johar is not impressed with the producers, Tips Films and Matchbox for suddenly announcing the clash.
He wrote on threads on Twitter, “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.” We know that producers are trying their best to avoid clashes in the post-pandemic era. The box office success is the main barometer of a film’s success. With many decent projects being rejected at the box office, makers with the slightest of doubts are opting for OTT. (Agencies)
