Nivin Pauly, Dhanush, Rana Daggubati and Rakshit Shetty release the teaser of Mercury!

Karthik Subbaraj is unarguably one of the most talented filmmakers in Tamil cinema at present. After juggling with different genres in Pizza, Jigarthanda and Iraivi, the director is now back with an unique attempt. The teaser of his upcoming silent film ‘Mercury’ starring Prabhudeva was released today.

South Indian cinema’s four leading stars Rana Daggubati, Nivin Pauly, Dhanush and Rakshit Shetty came together to release the teaser through their respective social media handles. It is a highly promising teaser with some intriguing visuals. A particular frame shows – ‘In the memory of 84 people died in this town due to mercury poisoning 1992’. We presume this to be the movie’s core plot.

Mercury is a daring attempt from Karthik Subbaraj as the movie has no dialogues. A silent film is being made in Indian cinema after a long gap and naturally cinephiles are eagerly looking forward to its release. Apart from Prabhudeva, the movie also stars Sanath, Indhuja, Deepak, Paramesh, Shashank Purushotham and Anish Padamanabhan.

Tirru, who won the National award last year for his work in 24, is the man behind the visuals of Mercury. Santhosh Narayanan, a regular in Karthik’s films, has composed the musicl and Vivek Harshan is editing the movie. The movie is slated for release on April 13.
