The Madras High Court on Friday ordered an interim stay on the release of Vijay-starrer, Mersal, with regard to a petition filed by AR Film Factory’s Rajendran.

According to a report on News 7 channel, “Rajendran’s film Mersalaayitten is currently under production, and he had also registered the title with TFPC. Since Vijay’s film also has the similar title, he claims that the release of Mersal might affect his film’s business. Though the title is not exactly the same, ‘Mersal’ and ‘Mersalaayitten’ are similar in meaning. The High Court has hence issued a stay order on Mersal and the production house cannot release the film until it [the issue] is sorted.”
Mersal’s teaser, which was released last evening, has already crossed one crore views on YouTube. Bankrolled by Thenandal Films, the movie was scheduled to hit the screens on Deepavali, October 18.
