Ahead of the film's premiere, Chadha said: "Just as I have enjoyed Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life for many years, my aim with Christmas Karma is to create a festive classic for our times and for generations to come.
"I'm over the moon to be working with [executive producer] Zygi Kamasa, who has supported me on this film from the onset, and True Brit, which truly celebrates British cinema," she continued.
"I am blessed with such a great diverse cast and eclectic music team – the soundtrack will be banging, influenced by Gospel, Bhangra, Carols, and classic pop songs. You will not be able to sit still."
Nayyar has also teased what's to come, noting: "To explore a beloved holiday tale through the eyes of an immigrant story (much like my own) is exactly the kind of movie that I believe will resonate with so many of us who are searching for the meaning of home. It takes a visionary like Gurinder to take a chance on a story like this, and I am humbled to be a part of it."
