When Thalapathy Vijay faced political and animal issues with 'Mersal' amid 'Jana Nayagan's postponement due to censor row

Thalapathy Vijay's 'Mersal' faced significant hurdles beyond censor issues, drawing objections from political parties and medical groups over its commentary on GST and healthcare. The Animal Welfare Board of India denied NOC for animal usage, citing violations during shoots. Confusion over certification and animal species further complicated matters, yet the film ultimately released to commercial success.
