Katrina recently got married to actor Vicky Kaushal. The couple wrapped up their Rajasthan wedding and returned to Mumbai earlier this month. “New beginnings,” Katrina wrote on social media. “BACK ON SET with director Sriram Raghavan for Merry Christmas! I’ve always wanted to work with Sriram Sir.
He is a master when it comes to narratives that showcase thrillers and it’s an honor to be directed by him... Super excited to be teaming up with @actorvijaysethupathi for this one produced by @rameshtaurani and @sanjayroutraymatbox.”
