Making a scary thriller in Bollywood can be a difficult task but one look at Karthik Subbaraj’s ‘Mercury’ starring Prabhu Deva and we think makers are finally reaching that place.

So far the makers had kept everything under wraps, but now we have a fair idea of what the film is all about.

The opening scene starts with a tombstone that reads, “In the memory of 84 people died in this town due to Mercury poisoning 1992.”

Pretty interesting we must say, enough to grab your attention and make you look forward to the movie. The ace point of the trailer is the gory-looking Prabhu Deva who just stunned us with his new avatar.
And full points to Santhosh Narayanan’s background score that blends flawlessly with whatever’s happening in the teaser and it just gets stuck in your head.

The film might be based on a real-life incident that took place in Kodaikanal where a whole neighbourhood was affected due to the dumping of Mercury by big corporate companies.

‘Mercury’ looks like a unique take on the thriller genre and we totally look forward to the trailer.
Watch the teaser now and tell us whether you loved Prabhu’s new look just like we did.
