Check out the official posts by Atlee for 7 years of Mersal:
The movie Mersal starring Thalapathy Vijay, tells the story of two identical brothers, Maaran and Vetri, who are separated after the younger sibling is born. While the elder one leads a normal life as a doctor, the other turns into a vigilante magician who sets out to take revenge upon the men who wrongfully killed their father, Vetrimaaran, also known as Thalapathy.
The movie stars Vijay in three different roles and features a talented ensemble cast including SJ Suryah, Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Nithya Menen in lead roles. It was a huge blockbuster in Tamil cinema and received mostly positive reviews. Interestingly, the movie also marked the beginning of Vijay using the title “Thalapathy” instead of his previous one, “Ilayathalapathy.”
Coming to the work front, director Atlee was last seen directing Shah Rukh Khan in the movie Jawan. The director is next expected to collaborate on a film with Salman Khan in 2025.
On the other hand, Thalapathy Vijay is currently involved in the filming of his next movie, tentatively called Thalapathy 69. The film, alleged to be the final film of the actor before entering full-time politics, is directed by H Vinoth and features Bobby Deol and Pooja Hegde as the other leads.
