Kapoor shared his working experience with the director and what made him say, 'yes' to the film. He said, "I got a call from Sriram sir regarding a film which he wanted me to be a part of called 'Merry Christmas', and on my way to his office, I was hoping my role is good because I love him and the work he has done, be it 'Badlapur', 'Johnny Gaddaar', 'Ek Hasina Thi' or 'Andhadhun'. I have been an ardent fan of Sriram Raghavan kind of cinema." While sharing what made him join the cast of the movie, he added, "When he narrated to me the script of 'Merry Christmas' and my character in the film, I knew it's a thriller but once my character comes in the second half, he changes the course of the film. It's a very colourful role and I knew it would benefit me. I was very confident about the way it would be directed by Sriram sir. So, I immediately said yes to the film." He expressed his gratitude towards the director and said, "Today, when the people are loving my work and performance in 'Merry Christmas', I knew Sriram sir wanted me to do the role that he offered me. I am glad that I am a part of this fabulous project and I got the chance to work with one of my favourite directors."
