It's time for some A.R. Rahman magic as the first single from the Vijay-starrer Mersal is set to be unveiled today.

The makers of Mersal, Thenandal Films made the announcement on Wednesday about the single launch through a poster that shows the three powerful characters played by Vijay in the movie.

“'Aalaporan Thamizhan' will be viral,” said Hema Rukmani of Thenandal Films. The film’s audio launch is expected to be a grand event on August 20 at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in Chennai, where Academy Award-winning composer A.R. Rahman will perform.

Actor Vijay, who is teaming up with director Atlee after his blockbuster Theri, will be seen in three roles as a panchayat head, a doctor and a magician. Written by popular Baahubali writer K.V.V. Vijayendra Prasad, the movie will have all three characters played by Vijay bringing on screen the actor’s comic sense.

The poster features Vijay sporting a twirled moustache, ash lined on his forehead with a tilak and playing Holi among a crowd. This is the third poster released by Thenandal films. The first poster had jallikattu references and indicates that the film may address the controversy around the custom in Tamil Nadu.

Mersal’s cast consists of Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Nithya Menen, who will play opposite the three characters played by Vijay. Actor and filmmaker S.J. Suryah will play the antagonist. Mersal is expected to be a Diwali release.
