Thalapathy Vijay's Mersal has fallen under a lot of scrutiny by various sections of the public for its controversial content. Simply due to the fact that Vijay is such a huge star with a gigantic reach among the public, this film's inaccuracies are even more glaring. Dr. Karthik Vardharaj, Secretary of the NGSDA explained in an exlcusive interview with us.

"The biggest mistake in Mersal in its messages about the medical field is the denouncing of medical check ups", according to Karthik. "Simply reducing it to a scam to milk poor patients is extremely misinforming", he says. He also warns us that "Mersal might indirectly lead to deaths".

Pointing out to a number of medical inaccuracies in the film, the doctor's scathing criticism of Atlee is that "Atlee is zero..he has basically done no research or groundwork. More than Vijay, who is merely the actor, it is the director who has to be blamed".

There is an enormous amount of valuable information in this interview, for its critical look on the film's messages:
