A strong condemnation has emerged from BJP’s Tamil Nadu leader Tamizhisai Soundar Rajan. In the movie Mersal, Vijay has made some political statements and all of them question the ruling BJP party.


In one particular scene, Vadivelu suggests that he has no money in his wallet due to Digital India.

Vijay in an open press statement like scene demands Indian government to provide free medical treatment because they collect 28% GST whereas Singapore with just 7% GST has achieved it.


The BJP representative wants these scenes to be removed in Mersal. Previously, because of the Animal Welfare Board, a scene featuring a dove was modified.

Will they agree to this as well? The GST scene if removed could disrupt the entire flow of the movie as it comes at a critical point and a part of the story.
