Here’s the second poster of Vijay’s Mersal!

As the clock ticked 12 AM today, Tamil superstar Vijay has turned 43 years and his fans across the world are in celebratory mood. Earlier in the day, the title and first look poster of his upcoming movie with director Atlee was released.

The movie is titled as Mersal and the makers released another poster exactly at the stroke of 12. If the first one was more of a massy one with a rural backdrop, the new poster is glitzy and colorful.

Vijay is seen in two different looks in both the posters. He is playing a triple role in the movie, so is there a surprise third look? Let’s wait and watch.

Mersal is being made as a bilingual in Tamil and Telugu. The movie marks the reunion of the blockbuster combo of Vijay and director Atlee after Theri. Mersal is a triple heroine subject in which Nithya Menen, Kajal Agarwal and Samantha Ruth Prabhu will be seen as the female leads. Filmmaker turned actor SJ Suryah plays the prime antagonist. Sathyaraj, Vadivelu, Sathyan and Kovai Sarala are also part of the cast.

Baahubali writer KV Vijayendra Prasad and Ramana Girivasan have helmed the film’s screenwriting. Oscar award winner AR Rahman is handling the music department for this movie. Debutant GK Vishnu has cranked the camera and Ruben is in charge of the edits.

Mersal is slated to hit screens worldwide for this year’s Diwali in October. It is the 100th film to be funded under the prestigious banner of Sri Thenandal Films.
