Thalapathy Vijay;s birthday started with the release of the second poster from his much expected 61st film 'Mersal'. The poster was released at 12 AM today as promised by the makers. Earlier on Wednesday, the first look poster of the film was released and the title was revealed and that has taken the social media by storm with fans trending the poster and the title.

While Vijay sported a rustic avtar in the first look which is said to be part of the 1980s portions in the film, the star was seen in the contemporary look in the second one. This seems to be the look f the Magician character played by Vijay. This portion of the film in which Vijay plays a magician is said to have a lot of space for comedy and heroine Samantha and comedian Yogi Babu will apparently have scenes with Vijay in these sequences.

There is another character of Vijay in the film and that is said to be that of a doctor. We hope the third look will also be released soon.

"Mersal' is being directed by Atlee and produced by Thenandal Studios banner. Nithya Menen, Kajal Aggarwal and Samantha play the female leads in this film while A.R.Rahman is the music director.
