Official trailer and plot of Mersal


A series of kidnappings involving medical staff occur in Chennai. The police arrest Dr. Maaran, believing he is responsible. During interrogation, he reveals that the victims caused a young girl's death through medical negligence. However, the truth shocks everyone - Maaran is actually Vetri, a magician who looks like him.

Vetri’s mission is to expose corrupt doctors. Years ago, Daniel Arokiaraj and Arjun Zachariah performed an unnecessary C-section on his mother, leading to her death. When his father, Vetrimaaran, confronted them, they had him killed. Vetri, presumed dead, survived and learned magic to seek justice.

Maaran soon discovers the truth and joins Vetri. They swap places to deceive Daniel. Vetri kills Daniel’s nephew before confronting Daniel himself. After a fierce fight, he electrocutes Daniel, ending his reign. Injured, Vetri is revived by Maaran but gets arrested. Before prison, he exposes medical corruption. Later, he hears about another death due to negligence. Using his magic tricks, he escapes. Meanwhile, Maaran takes charge of the Indian Medical Council, while Vetri continues his fight for justice.
