Sharing the first picture on Instagram, the director wrote, “Those days ennoda annae. Ennoda thalapathy,” which translates to “My Brother. My Thalapathy.” The second picture was unveiled on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, expressing his gratitude toward everyone.

Check out the official posts by Atlee for 7 years of Mersal:



The movie Mersal starring Thalapathy Vijay, tells the story of two identical brothers, Maaran and Vetri, who are separated after the younger sibling is born. While the elder one leads a normal life as a doctor, the other turns into a vigilante magician who sets out to take revenge upon the men who wrongfully killed their father, Vetrimaaran, also known as Thalapathy.

The movie stars Vijay in three different roles and features a talented ensemble cast including SJ Suryah, Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Nithya Menen in lead roles. It was a huge blockbuster in Tamil cinema and received mostly positive reviews. Interestingly, the movie also marked the beginning of Vijay using the title “Thalapathy” instead of his previous one, “Ilayathalapathy.”
