To her surprise, Sriram Raghavan stuck to the bilingual approach without arranging a Tamil dubbing artist for her. Katrina Kaif humorously recounts the moment when, after completing the schedule, Sriram Raghavan reminded her, "Kal Se Tamil" (From tomorrow, in Tamil). The actress, taken aback, confesses, "I went home crying! I came on the set the next day in the morning where again I cried. I was like, ‘No sir, I can’t do this.’ But in the end, we did it."

Despite the initial emotional challenges, Katrina Kaif commends Geeta Venkat for helping her with the Tamil lines. Expressing hope that the Tamil version resonates with the audience, she reflects on the experience, acknowledging the difficulty but affirming their successful collaboration.

Sriram Raghavan appreciates Katrina Kaif's dedication, emphasizing her commendable performance despite being unfamiliar with the language. As the release of "Merry Christmas" draws near, fans eagerly anticipate the actress's nuanced portrayal in this captivating thriller.
