Katrina’s final flick.
The actor appeared alongside Vijay Sethupathi in the critically acclaimed Hindi-Tamil multilingual noir Merry Christmas (2024). Sriram Raghavan directed the film, which is based on Frédéric Dard’s French novel Le Monte-charge (Bird in a Cage).
In the same Variety interview, Katrina gushed about Sriram, who was at the top of her list of filmmakers to work with.
She stated that the characters in his films have a “certain rawness and realness” to them, and that when you watch them on screen, “they’re very flawed, very imperfect,” but there’s a genuine, compassionate aspect to them, and “they feel very real.” Katrina went on to say that the director has a knack for making what he presents on screen familiar, even if the scenarios are occasionally absurd.
