Tamil Actor Vijay in Mersal Movie 2017
The makers of actor Vijay's next Tamil outing on Wednesday unveiled the film's title and first look on the eve of the actor's birthday.
Directed by Atlee, the film has been titled "Mersal", and it is gearing up for a Diwali release.
In a statement, the official title was announced along with the film's first look poster.
The film marks Atlee's reunion with Vijay after last year's Tamil blockbuster "Theri".
Vijay plays a triple role in the film, which is bankrolled by Sri Thenandal Studios.
The three roles feature him as a panchayat head, a doctor and a magician.
The film, which has music by A.R Rahman, also stars Nithya Menen, SJ Suryah, Kajal Aggarwal and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
In the film, directed by Atlee, Vijay plays triple roles. He will be seen as a panchayat head, a doctor and a magician. The actor’s comic timing will be brought forth on screen through the magician’s role. His portions are intended to evoke laughter and lighten up the mood. The first poster features Vijay as the panchayat head, sporting a twirled mustache, and this role will be seen in the period portion. There is Jallikattu reference in this poster and it could be perceived that the film may address the recent Jallikattu row in Tamil Nadu. Vijay is seen as a magician in the second poster and although it wasn’t as well received as the first, fans still celebrated both the posters.
