Mersal is a 2015 Tamil action thriller directed by Atlee. The plot revolves around two brothers Vetri and Maaran. While the latter is a renowned doctor known for helping the poor, the former is a magician. They are also biological brothers unbeknownst to them which is why they look similar.
Vetri takes the advantage of this fact and kidnaps Maaran holding him hostage while he himself goes on his murder spree posing as Maaran. The top targets in his list are Dr Daniel and Dr Arjun, two corrupt officers who had killed their mother out of greed by performing an unnecessary caesarean while she was about to deliver Vetri. Their father was also killed by one of Daniel’s henchman while trying to avenge the death of his wife. If this movie is remade in Bollywood, here’s a list of actors who can play the lead characters perfectly.
Maaran/Vetri/ Vetrimaaran- Hrithik Roshan
Maaran is a popular doctor who helps treat the needy and poor people without charging too much fees. Meanwhile, Vetri is his younger brother who is a magician by profession. Vetrimaaran is the father of the two boys who gets killed when he goes to avenge his wife’s death. The three characters have been played by the same actor. Known for being one of the greatest action heroes of Bollywood and having played dual roles before, Hrithik Roshan seems just the actor for these roles.
