Thalapathy Vijay's most anticipated film is all set to hit the screens on October 18 in a massive scale. The film directed by Atlee and produced by Sri Thenandal Films is one of the biggest releases of the year. The film has acquired a UA certificate.

Now it has been revealed that the film's total running time will be 2 hours and 47 minutes, that is 167 minutes. A few minutes short of a 3 hour duration, fans could expect nothing less than a gripping entertainer with a mass star in the lead.

'Mersal' will see Vijay in three distinct roles along with actresses Kajal Aggarwal, Nithya Menen and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in other important roles. A.R Rahman has scored the music for this mega budget movie.
