Atlee's Mersal, starring Thalapathy Vijay, is creating box office records down South. Simultaneously, the film has faced criticism from BJP politicians for its strong dialogues about GST and digital money. In the wake of the issue, the support for the team was less, but as the subject grew more substantial, and attained a nation-wide reach, many celebrities, and other politicians have extended their support to the young team.

As part of this, former actress and current Indian National Congress politician, Nagma has also taken to her Twitter handle to pass her views on the issue. She has supported the Mersal team and tweeted against the BJP government. She has said, "#bjp shud work in #TN instead of slamming actors & want 2mute their voices thr r imp issues 2 add 8 die in a roofcollapse &deaths frm dengue",and "#MersalVsModi row #bjp in #TN & nationally burdening the citizen wth #GST#demonetisation, nw wanting  2 scuttle voices by threatening actors"
