Production

Financing for Christmas Karma is from Civic Studios. Gurinder Chadha, Celine Rattray, Trudie Styler, and Amory Leader serve as producers, with Zygi Kamasa, Anushka Shah, Paul Mayeda Berges, Sophia Pedlow, and Hannah Leader as executive producers.

The film is written, directed and produced by Chadha, who spoke in Parliament in January 2024, to discuss the British film industry. There, she told MPs her upcoming film would have an Indian lead character, saying "My Scrooge is an Indian Tory who hates refugees". The project was subsequently described as a Bollywood musical inspired by Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol. It features music from Gary Barlow, Shaznay Lewis, and Nitin Sawhney.

The ensemble cast is led by Kunal Nayyar as a contemporary Scrooge, called Mr Sood, who despises refugees despite being one himself, and becomes haunted by three ghosts of Christmas past, present and future; played by Eva Longoria, Billy Porter and Boy George.

The Expulsion of Indians from Uganda is a central narrative in the story of Mr Sood.

Hugh Bonneville, Leo Suter, Charithra Chandran, Pixie Lott, Danny Dyer, Bilal Hasna, Allan Corduner, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Rufus Jones, Eve, and Nitin Ganatra also appear.
