Mersal teaser: From Madhavan to Raai Laxmi, celebs heap praises on promo from Vijay film

The teaser from Vijay's Mersal has become the talk of the town in Kollywood. The video received over a crore hits in just 18 hours since it was released online on September 21.

Atlee, the director, seems to know well the pulse of Vijay's audience and he has packed the teaser with thrilling moments from Mersal. Every second holds the viewers' attention and raises curiosity levels without giving away nothing about the storyline.

It has been widely speculated that Vijay will be seen in three roles, but the teaser has just two of his characters – a veshti-clad rural man and a mesmerising magician. The third character might be kept as a surprise package for the audience.

Editor Ruben deserves a pat on his back for combining the action, comedy and other mass elements into a neat 1.15-minute teaser. The fans and celebrities have hailed the clip.

Here, find the comments posted by a few celebrities on Twitter:
