Mersal has been in the news recently for good and bad reasons. Promotions for the film are in full swing as the film is all set and geared up to hit the screens on 18th October, for Diwali. Fans are very excited and are eagerly waiting to catch their idol on screen. Meanwhile, issues also follow the Mersal team as they just came past a title issue and now they are facing problems with the censor board and the Animal Welfare Board of India.

Actor Vijay has not given any statement regarding this yet, but we have just received reports that the Theri star has met the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Edappadi Palaniswami, a few minutes ago. It is said that the actor met the CM at his house to discuss the issues following the film's release and thank him for the developments relating to the entertainment tax on tickets.

Mersal's director Atlee and Minister Kadambar Raju are also reported to have been a part of the meeting. Further details regarding the meeting are awaited. Stay tuned.
