In an exclusive interview with us, DMK politician and film producer J Anbazhagan, the current MLA of Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni, spoke to us about a lot of things including Mersal and Tamilisai Soundararajan.
Defending Mersal's dialogues, he stressed that criticisms are part of the job in politics and one should take it in one's stride. He argued that Mersal did not demean GST, but merely implied that it could have been implemented better.
Speaking on Tamilisai and her comments on Mersal, the politician poked fun at her. "If she wants free films, she can make and act in them. But we cannot bear to look at her even in person, if she acts..?"
There were more interesting things spoken in the interview, catch it here:
Ruban Mathivanan, Managing director of GK Cinemas, tweeted about Mersal's performance in his theatre. He says Mersal continues to put up a splendid show despite heavy rains.
"13th day, Monday and heavy rains still 90% occupancy for evening show. Can we call this r own #baahubali😍 #Mersal." - Ruban Mathivanan
Mersal has also clicked well amongst the family audience who continue to provide patronage to the film even during weekdays.
