With Jana Nayagan's release still uncertain, fans of CM Vijay have a theatrical treat lined up ahead of his birthday on June 22. Atlee's Mersal is set to re-release in theatres across Chennai and Chengalpattu on June 19, timed to celebrate the actor-politician's birthday.

Originally released on Diwali 2017, Mersal featured Vijay in three roles as a doctor-vigilante and his two sons, earning nearly Rs 200 crore at the box office. The film starred Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Kajal Aggarwal, Nithya Menen, SJ Suryah, Vadivelu, and Sathyaraj among others, with AR Rahman scoring the music and GK Vishnu handling cinematography. It was Vijay's second collaboration with Atlee after Theri, followed later by Bigil.
