As informed to you Vijay’s Mersal has received a ‘U/A’ certificate from the CBFC today, 6th of October. Do you know that no Vijay film has got nothing but U certificate in the past 8 years? Vettaikkaran was the last Vijay film that got a U/A and now Mersal and broken that streak.
From Sura to Bairavaa, 11 Vijay films have continuously got 'U' certificates. Even though Mersal has been censored with U/A, it is expected to be highly family-friendly like all Vijay films are.
Mohanlal's Villain to release for Diwali on the 19th of October. Vishal has also played a pivotal role in this Malayalam film. Vijay's Mersal would be releasing on the 18th. So Mersal would have a tough competitor at Kerala box office.
It must be noted that this is the 3rd time Vijay-Vishal films are releasing at the same time. The previous occasions were:
Pokkiri - Thaamirabharani (2007 Pongal)
Kaththi - Poojai (2014 Diwali)
We wish both the films turn out to be commercially successful
