Mersal's dialogues about GST and demonetization has become a debatable topic in the political circles and the BJP party seems to be against those dialogues.
Bigg Boss fame Gayathri Raghuram shared her opinion on the same issue on her Twitter profile. She posted, "Politics is different from entertainment, entertainment is different from real life. Get it straight. Criticism is accepted by cinema and so does political parties. Let's see entertainment as entertainment not completely apply it in real life.
Like I said it's just a movie. We also should not politicise this. It's us who is mixing both politics and entertainment. Actors role in the movie is not real. He is not real life magician he is not real life doctor. Just view movie & dialogues as entertainment. Everything in this world is the subject no exceptions but do not apply the entertainment in real life."
Interestingly, Gayathri Raghuram also belongs to the same political party, who is Bharatiya Janata Party's Youth Wing executive.
Mersal has had a surprisingly grand opening, considering the confusion and chaos surrounding its release. Fans and families have been thronging to theatres to catch the movie, causing strings of houseful shows.
Rakesh Gowthaman, owner of Vettri Theatres, has tweeted: "#Mersal 3 days of #Housefull shows ... Without any doubt , no show break till Sunday night show expected ... #MersalinVettri".
Nikilesh Surya, owner of Rohini Theatres, has tweeted: "Someone remind me it's a weekday. All screens playing #Mersal sold out even for noon and matinee shows! Terrific 🙏", followed by "#Mersal most certainly be the All time highest opening week grosser! It may also break #Baahubali2 footfall record @RohiniSilverScr !! 🙏🙏🙏".
