The theatre owners are on a strike currently, against the double taxation and the Government's rule to levy 10 % entertainment tax.
While everyone is doubtful if the strike will end before Mersal's release, the film's executive producer Aditi Ravindranath of Thenandal Studios took to Twitter to share her opinion on this issue. She said that Mersal needs a festival (Diwali) release.
Aditi posted, "To All : Please understand a producers plight. Really hope #doubletaxation issue gets sorted. Team #MERSAL needs a Diwali release."
While Vijay's Mersal teaser has already been creating many records on Youtube, the fans were asking if the film's trailer would release. That was also the question of many film buffs indeed.
However, when we contacted our close sources, they confirmed that there will be no trailer for Mersal, as the team feels that the teaser itself created the impact. With the two recent promos, it has added to the film's buzz much more, and they don't feel the need of a trailer. Though there won't be any trailer, it is also told that the makers might release another promo close to the film's release date, which we have to wait and see.
It is actually good to know this because this will give the audience more excitement while watching new things directly in the film.
