On Friday, Tamilisai Soundararajan condemned the 'misconceptions' being promoted in the film about central government schemes, including Goods and Services Tax, demonetization and digital India, saying when celebrities talk about certain schemes it misleads the public and carries effect in the minds of the people.
Mersal is a Tamil movie directed by Atlee and co-written by Atlee and K. V. Vijayendra Prasad.
