Thalapathy Vijay's Mersal, directed by Atlee, and produced by Thenandal Studios Limited, was one of the most successful films of last year at the box office. The film has gone another step infact, and has made it to various International Film Festival arenas. As part of this, the film was recently screened at Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN), held at Bucheon recently.
The film's producer Hema Rukmani of TSL, attended the film festival and was also part of the discussion session, that happened post the film's screening. Hema posted pictures from the venue and shared her experience on being there at the Film Festival. She posted, "Had some quality discussion about Asian cinema with the other panelists at the #BIFAN film festival, held at Bucheon and I'm very glad to share with you that #Mersal was chosen, screened, and appreciated under the 'Best of Asian Cinema' category.
In my wildest dreams, I have never ever imagined a south korean sojourn. Thanks to #bifan, the fantastic film festival, for making it possible. I had a great time, to say the least, with like minded people passioned by cinema. #mersal in the best of Asia selection, was an unmatched honour. Yayy to the team! #thalapathy #atlee #arr Murali Ramaswamy #srithenandalfilms"
