In an exclusive interview with Behindwoods, child artist Aakshath, who played an important role in Mersal as the younger version of one of Vijay's characters, answered a lot of questions with refreshing innocence and cuteness.
Speaking about his shooting experience, he said, "They found me after I did a rampwalk... Vijay uncle would help me with my acting now and then. Atlee uncle told me not to be in any photos.. I did not need any glycerine to cry, it was easy.."
"Vijay uncle" is Aakshath's favourite actor. He has even received five very unique gifts from the star actor for his birthday. The sweet kid also sang two songs from Mersal for us.

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.
