In this age of social medias, teaser and trailer records have a massive impact on the movie’s overall performance.
Mersal marks Vijay’s reunion with director Atlee after the 2016 blockbuster Theri. From the promos, Mersal looks like a clean paisa vasool mass entertainer that appeals to audience of all age groups. The actor plays a triple role for the first time in his career which further adds up to the expectations. Samantha, Kajal Agarwal and Nithya Menen will be seen as the three female leads.
Apart from the star-studded cast, the movie has some big names in the technical department as well. Oscar winner AR Rahman is composing the music and Baahuabli’s co-writer Vijayendra Prasad has helmed the movie’s screenwriting along with Atlee and Ramana Girivasan.
