Rajinikanth congratulates Mersal team for addressing an important topic!

Vijay’s Diwali release Mersal continues to rock the box office during the weekend shows. The movie has shattered several pre-exisiting box office records and is well on course to become one of the all time highest grossers of Tamil cinema. Mersal’s success comes in between its share of problems after the ruling BJP demanded removal of scenes that allegedly criticised their schemes.

Mersal caught nationwide attention after the boycott calls from the BJP. The movie has been getting support from all corners including celebrities and political leaders. Superstar Rajinikanth has taken his Twitter space to congratulate the team on their success. He also appreciated them for addressing a very relevant topic through the film.

Rajinikanth has tweeted,

Important topic addressed… Well done !!! Congratulations team #Mersal

Earlier, Kamal Haasan had also extended his support for the movie. Last day, he watched a special screening of Mersal along with Vijay, director Atlee and the producers. Several other actors like Vishal, Sarathkumar, Arvind Swamy, Gauthami, Kushboo, Nagma etc have hit out at the BJP for trying to curtail one’s freedom of expression.

Mersal is a clean commercial mass entertainer in which Vijay plays a triple role for the first time in his career. It is a a regular revenge story that also lets out a very relevant social message about the medical facilities in our country. Atlee along with veteran KV Vijayendra Prasad and Ramana Girivasan have scripted the movie. It is funded by Thenandal Film Studios.
