It
is
Mersal
mania
from
the
last
5
days.
The
talk
is
not
just
restricted
to
the
Tamil
industry,
but
across
the
nation
too,
thanks
to
the
political
intervention
of
the
state
BJP
leaders
questioning
certain
facts
of
the
movie.
Mersal
got
into
a
muddle
of
controversies
due
to
its
distorted
facts
about
GST
and
its
implementation,
which
eventually
irked
the
local
BJP
outfit
in
Tamil
Nadu.
This
agitated
certain
sections
of
cinema
personnel
and
fans
in
general.
The
overall
controversy
has
fetched
in
a
huge
mileage
for
Mersal
which
is
raking
in
big
bucks
at
the
box
office.
5
days
after
its
release,
the
movie
has
grossed
over
125
Cr
and
is
racing
towards
collecting
150
Cr.
Mersal
for
sure
will
be
Thalapathy
Vijay's
biggest
blockbuster
of
his
career
and
is
all
set
to
occupy
the
4th
spot
in
the
Tamil
cinema
box
office
just
behind
Kabali,
Enthiran
and
I.
Responding
to
the
controversial
statements
of
the
state's
BJP
leaders,
few
cinema
personalities
and
local
political
outfits
have
voiced
their
opinion
in
favour
of
Mersal.
Not
just
that,
the
congress
youth
president
head,
Rahul
Gandhi,
too,
has
stood
by
the
team
lending
his
support.
But
the
best
part
is
yet
to
come.
The
two
giant
pillars
of
Kollywood,
Superstar
Rajinikanth
and
Ulaaganayagan
Kamal
Haasan,
have
now
supported
Mersal,
which
has
come
in
as
a
massive
booster
for
the
team.
Ulaga
Nayagan
Kamal
Haasan
expressed
his
support
by
tweeting
"Mersal
was
certified.
Dont
re-censor
it.
Counter
criticism
with
logical
response.
Dont
silence
critics.
India
will
shine
when
it
speaks"-Sic
The
Ttwitteraties

from
the
legendary

So
far,
the

from
Kamal
has
garnered
over
84K
likes,
31K
retweets
and
4.2K
comments
in

A
