Thalapathy Vijay's 'Mersal' directed by Atlee and produced by Sri Thenandal Studios is accelarating to the 200 Crore mark at the box office becoming the biggest hit of the career of the mass hero.

A rumor has been doing the rounds that on the pre-Diwali day the 'Mersal' producers were in a financial crunch and Vijay stepped in with a huge amount to facilitate the smooth release of the film.

The Sri Thenandal Studios camp has strongly denied the news as absolutely false and have stated that their company is a prestigious one for several decades and 'Mersal' being their 100th production was well planned and executed professionally to the core.
