A pre-release event was held in Hyderabad recently for the upcoming silent film Mercury featuring Prabhu Deva in the lead role. Here is what director Karthik Subbaraj had to talk about his film at the pre-release event:

"I am so happy to be here, I came for my first film Pizza which was dubbed and released here and it got a very good response from the Telugu audience also. It was a big success. This is my fourth film, a silent film, there are no dialogues in the film. It is a silent thriller, I am so happy that we have broken that language barrier. We as a team have brought this film to the Telugu audience and we are presenting it on April 13th.

As we said before, this film will be a new experience to the theatre audience and it will definitely entertain you right from the first frame and will also emotionally touch you. After writing the script, I wanted a great performer to do this role and I thought of Prabhu Deva sir as he is a legendary actor, he has acted in a lot of films that I love. But this one is unique especially for him, it is different from the zone he has done before. Right from day 1, he delivered an extraordinary performance and he is the one who has elevated the film to a different level."
