On a more serious note, Mersal is facing some unexpected trouble, currently. A case has been filed in Chennai High Court by one Mr.Rajendran to restrict the movie from being promoted through its title. According to Rajendran, he had registered the title 'Mersalayitten' for his production, way back in 2014. This film is now being brought out by a debutant cast and crew, 

Earlier today the high court ordered an interim ban on the promotion of Mersal. However the Mersal crew filed a petition stating that the film has involved a lot of production cost, and the ban on promotions should be lifted. Nevertheless, the high court has ordered the ban effective until the 3rd of October. 

Looks like trouble for the Mersal team!
