Sethupathi intervened and expressed in Tamil, "Hindi as a language was never opposed." When the reporter queried whether Hindi should be embraced, Vijay vehemently criticized the repeated nature of such questions. He recalled similar inquiries during Aamir Khan's visit and questioned the necessity of asking the same thing persistently. Asserting his viewpoint, he emphasized that while there was no restriction on studying Hindi, the issue was about not enforcing it. He referenced Minister PTR Thyagarajan's explanation and urged the reporter to seek clarification from him regarding the matter.

Vijay emphasized, "At the teaser launch, I was questioned about the divide between these film industries. Someone mentioned that with the advent of OTT platforms, the barrier began to collapse, and it's evident now."
Directed by Sriram Raghavan, "Merry Christmas" faced multiple postponements before its upcoming release scheduled for January 12, 2024. Initially anticipated to debut on December 8, 2023, the movie's release date was adjusted due to Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s "Animal," featuring Ranbir Kapoor, hitting the screens around the same time.
