Thalapathy Vijay's 'Mersal' has been gaining National prominence thanks to the opposition of a few leaders of the Tamil Nadu unit of BJP against the dialogues criticising GST and Digital Money initiatives of the Union Government.

While many politicians cutting across party lines and film industry celebrities have voiced their support for 'Mersal' to uphold the constitutionally guaranteed Freedom of Speech, now the iconic Superstar of Tamil cinema has also joined the bandwagon of supporters.

Yes Superstar Rajinikanth has apparently watched 'Mersal' and he has appreciated the film and congratulated the team in Twitter. As the film calls for free medical treatment for all, Rajinikanth has said "An Important topic addressed... Well done !!! Congrats team Mersal."

In a related development Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan has watched 'Mersal' in a special screening on Sunday evening. Thalapathy Vijay, director Atlee, producer Hema Rukmani and a few other important members of the 'Mersal' crew watched the film along with the legendary star.

It must be noted that Kamal has already expressed his support for the film in the wake of BJP leaders'  calls to chop of the dialogues against GST and Digital Money.

Important topic addressed... Well done !!! Congratulations team #Mersal
