'Yodha', an action-thriller was scheduled to be released on July 7, 2023 but got delayed. Then it got postponed to September 15, 2023. Now it is scheduled to be released on December 8, 2023.

'Merry Christmas' was announced in December 2021, along with the title of the film. Principal photography commenced the same month in Mumbai and wrapped in January 2023. Initially thought to be made only in Hindi, Raghavan revealed in August of 2023 that they were also making the film in Tamil. The film was initially scheduled for release on December 23, 2022, however, to avoid a box office clash with Rohit's 'Cirkus', the makers decided to postpone it.
