In an official press note, producer Murali has briefed in detail his thoughts in the last few days amidst the controversy surrounded for his landmark 100th film Mersal.l. It read "We thank Vijay fans all around the world for making this film a grand success. We wholeheartedly thank Thalpathy Vijay, Director Atlee and the whole Mersalteam who worked for the film.

It deeply saddens us when Mersal had issues within few days of release. Mersal is not made with an intention to oppose anybody, especially the government. The film is produced with a social message that every ordinary man in the nation should get free medical treatment.

We have met the BJP leaders in person and also have spoken to few other politicians over the phone to convey that Mersal is not a film to hurt any individual or any party. Members of BJP have also accepted our explanations. In fact, BJP's State President Tamilisai Soundararajan appreciated our positive thought of meeting and clarifying the issue in person. Even after this meeting, if they feel any scene or dialogue in the film misleads people, we are ready to remove that scene or dialogue from the film."
