It is indeed high praise. Earlier in the day, Vijay Kaushal cheered for his wife, actress Katrina Kaif. He wrote, “Merry Christmas everyone! So freaking proud of you love for how beautifully you have surrendered yourself to Sriram Sir’s masterful storytelling and to the complexities of ‘Maria’…Her rawness, her mystery, her magic… All done with such honesty and nuance! And that dance… uff! This one’s truly your best work till date. Vijay Sethupati Sir… don’t know how you bring that childlike innocence in your characters but it’s pure joy to watch you bring Albert alive. How you guys are going to make people jingle all the way when they watch the film… especially that end! Go enjoy this thrilling fun ride in theatres near you! Merry Christmas in cinemas now.”
