We had reported that director Karthik Subbaraj has made the announcement on his ‘no language’ silent film Mercury’s release. The movie will hit screens on April 13, 2018 as planned. However, the director and the entire team has decided that Mercury’s Tamil version will not be released in Tamil Nadu till the strike is done with and till the Producer council arrives at a solution for the same.

Karthik Subbaraj’s latest Tweet read, “To clarify certain confusions... #Mercury team including me, the director, all the cast, crew and producers have been honestly supporting the TNFPC strike going on and we have already decided to not release the Tamil version of our film in TN until the strike is over... We too like thousands of film industry workers are hoping for a fruitful solution to all our problems...Karthik Subbaraj”.
