It is most exciting to know that Vijay’s Mersal will be releasing for this year’s Diwali. The first day of its run is expected to have numerous shows planned between the screens of theatres. However, the runtime of Mersal seems to be on the higher side. Talking to us about this was Nikilesh Surya of Rohini Silver Screens:

“The demand for Vijay’s Mersal is unimaginable and we are super excited about its release for Diwali 17’. But Mersal’s run time is around 2hours 46 minutes which makes it slightly longer than Vivegam (2 hours 28 minutes).

On the first day, we will plan and fit in maximum number of shows as possible for Mersal but it will be one show less than Vivegam on this first day. However there will be no break for 2 days straight and it is going to be a cracker of a Diwali with Mersal’s release!”

Nikilesh also posted through his Twitter, “Long run time being a hindrance in planning shows. Nevertheless maximum shows with no break for 2 days straight @rohinisilverscr!”
