Thol. Thirumavalavan, President of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, was interviewed this morning regarding the controversy surrounding Vijay's new flick Mersal, due its dialogues criticising GST.

He said, "I have not yet watched Mersal, so I cannot comment on the dialogues. But BJP should not attack the film. It was the censor board which approved the film after reviewing its content, and so it is the censor board that should be the target of BJP's protests."
