Reflecting on his cherished collaboration with filmmaker Sriram Raghavan, Kapoor told ANI, "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."

So, I immediately said yes to the film," he was quoted as saying by ANI.

Elaborating further, Kapoor revealed, "When I said yes, Sriram sir went to his other office where all the other assistant directors (associated with the film) were there and he told all of them that I have said yes to the film.
