Ilayathalapathy Vijay has issued an official proclamation saying thanks to everybody who bolstered him and his new film Mersal, which has been amidst a seething political contention. He has offered thanks to his industry companions and political gatherings which remained by him through the debate.
“My new film Mersal, which released on Deepavali, is running successfully in theatres drawing a lot of people’s appreciation. Along with the big success, the film has also received a few objection. My friends in the film industry, and national and regional political parties and their leaders, media friends, and my fans have given a great support for me and my Mersal team,” he said in the statement. “I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for this,” he added.
Mersal struck gold in the cinema world even as it has mixed a national verbal confrontation on a few fronts. The BJP pioneers in Tamil Nadu contradicted to specific discoursed mouthed by Vijay, which they said has demonstrated the Modi government’s pet undertakings like GST and Digital India in poor light.
BJP senior pioneer H Raja painted a collective edge to the whole contention by raking up Vijay’s Christian roots. Raja charged that Vijay is a Christian and henceforth he despised PM Modi. He additionally protested a scene, where Vijay’s character in the film recommends of building sanctuaries rather than healing centres. The scene was totally drawn outside of any relevant connection to the subject at hand and even a grievance against the performing artist was petitioned for supposedly harming religious opinions.
“Mr Modi, Cinema is a deep expression of Tamil culture and language. Don’t try to demon-etise Tamil pride by interfering in Mersal,” Rahul Gandhi tweeted. The individuals from Tamil film clique, including Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan appreciated Mersal and talked against re-editing the film because of political weight.
