Vijay Sethupathi, Sriram Raghavan On Rumours Of Merry Christmas Being A  Covid Casualty

Has  the  shooting schedule of Sriram Raghavan’s Merry Christmas featuring Vijay Sethupati and Katrina Kaif fallen prey to the pandemic?

Sriram  sets  the record  straight  in an exclusive  chat.  “I am happy we shot a schedule in December. A few crew members did test +ve post shoot and are now recovering/recovered. Luckily our next schedule is from end January only. Thank you for clarifying.”

Adds  Vijay, “It’s true  I am not shooting for Merry Christmas right now. But not  because of Covid . But because I have a shooting schedule in Chennai. As per plans we plan to start Merry Christmas in February  only.  We are going through really difficult times. It would be better if people  don’t spread  alarming rumours. Life is already filled with alarming developments. We don’t need  added excitement.”

The  shooting for  Sriram Raghavan’s Vijay Sethupati-Katrina Kaif starrer was to begin  on April 15 2021 It was  postponed indefinitely.

Shared  Vijay Sethupati, “We were supposed  to start  shooting from April 15. But Katrina  caught  Corona.  So  the shooting schedule was called  off. My webseries  with Raj-DK was  also  scheduled to begin from  the end  of May. ”

Vijay who is   busy  with  four  projects  in  the South says  the shootings in  Mumbai seem  to be at far  more risk than in the North.  “We are taking utmost precaution here.  In Mumbai  , I don’t know what  is  happening. “

The  vitally  versatile  Vijay has  lately signed three  Hindi projects.
