Few media had reported that Mersal's deleted scenes will be released soon and they also quoted that editor Ruben had announced the same. However, Mersal editor was quick enough to clarify this issue via social media

"I never gave any statement reagarding the #Mersal deleted scenes release! There were few songs & comedy scenes trimmed considering the duration of the film! No deleted scenes/songs will be released by the team as of now! Please don't spread or believe rumours! #Mersal #Rumour"

We spoke to Livingston Antony Ruben to know when they would release the deleted scenes and this is what he had to say, "The trimmed song portions and comedy scenes will be released for sure but it will happen only after the film's theatrical run."
