Mersal, which faced a lot of controversy even before its release, has no lack of it post the release too.Tamil Nadu’s BJP president Tamilisai Soundararajan has voiced that dialogues in the film about GST should be removed. As the film's issues foray into politics, DMK’s working president MK Stalin was asked to comment.

He has reportedly said that he has not watched the movie and that he cannot comment on the BJP president’s demand. We have to wait and see.
