WILL MERSAL BE VIJAY'S FIRST EVER?

The buzz surrounding the audio of Thalapathy Vijay and AR Rahman's Mersal in enormous. It is easily among the most expected albums of the year.We are just over 20 days away from the audio launch which is all set to happen in a grand fashion at Nehru Indoor Stadium on the 20th of August. As informed earlier, it is going to be one memorable event.

Having said that, would the makers be keen on releasing a single before that? Singles are the current trend in Kollywood. It helps to create a buzz for the entire album. But contrary to the ongoing trend, we have never had a single release for a Vijay film till date.

Almost all the current top hero’s films have had single releases in the recent past except for Vijay movies. We are not sure if it is a conscious decision from Vijay's side not to release single tracks.

It must be noted that Vijay once took a dig during Puli audio launch for having too many promotional events before a film's release. He stated that during his younger days, there used to be audio release and then you get to hear about a movie only when it releases but things have changed now. We now have a trailer, teaser before and teaser for a teaser.

Going by that, we feel that Vijay might feel not to bombard his fans with too many promotional videos and audios. This is just a theory and there could be some other reason as well. But will there be a change in this practice? Will there be a single release before the audio launch? We will have to wait and see.
