The producer of "Mersalaayiten", Rajendran opposed the titling of Vijay's upcoming Deepavali release Mersal, citing similarity in the titles and alleging potential confusion and losses. He had petitioned against it in the Madras High Court earlier and the petition was dismissed.

Now, a review petition of the judgment filed in the High Court by Rajendran has also been dismissed.

This is good news for the film as well as Vijay's fans, as one more hurdle before the Deepavali release has been crossed.
