Behindwoods had a special interview with DMDK Chief and actor, 'Captain' Vijayakanth. During the interview, many topics were discussed and one such was about the political controversy that prevailed over Mersal and its scenes.
When he was asked, in future, if movies starring him, with social themes, can release without any issues, he said, "It should. It will release without any issues. If not, I will protest. I haven't seen Mersal yet, so I cannot speak about it. Only, if I watch films, I can speak. I don't watch my films in the first place. You are asking about others' films."
