Helmed by Sriram Raghavan, Merry Christmas is a genre-defying tale from the director of Johnny Gaddaar, Badlapur, and Andhadhun. It is guaranteed to be distinct from those films, just as they are distinct from one another. Furthermore, Merry Christmas has been filmed in two languages, featuring various supporting actors.

The Hindi version includes Sanjay Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Pratima Kannan, and Tinnu Anand as co-stars, while the Tamil version enlists Radhika Sarathkumar, Shanmugaraja, Kevin Jay Babu, and Rajesh Williams in equivalent roles. Meanwhile, Ashwini Kalsekar and Radhika Apte also appear in the film in cameo roles.
