There
have
been
several
rumours
about
Thalapathy
Vijay's
Master
getting
a
direct-to-OTT
release
after
Suriya's
Soorarai
Pottru.
Though
the
director
Lokesh
Kanagaraj
had
earlier
refuted
the
rumours,
the
gossipmongers
are
not
ready
to
give
up
so
easily.
Well
now,
to
give
a
clear
cut
clarification
about
the
release,
one
of
the
producers
of
the
film,
Jagadish,
has
revealed
that
the
film
will
only
release
once
the
current
situation
of
COVID-19
settles
down.
On
the
occasion
of
the
one-year
announcement
of
Master,
he
retweeted
one
of
his
tweets
from
the
past
and
wrote,
"Been
a
year
since
we
announced
#Master.
Still
could
remember
the
nervousness
I
had
while
tweeting
it.
Months
of
fond
memories
and
loads
of
brisk
work.
If
not
for
Covid,
the
situation
would
have
been
totally
different.
Nevertheless,
the
celebrations
awaits
once
things
settle."
Well,
to
add
to
this,
let
us
tell
you
that
there
are
reports
doing
the
rounds
that
the
theatrical
rights
of
the
Vijay-starrer
for
Tamil
Nadu
have
been
already
sold
at
the
time
of
its
shoot
for
around
Rs
70-75
crore,
and
with
such
a
massive
amount
at
stake,
the
makers
might
not
take
the
risk
of
giving
it
back
and
settle
for
less.
Looks
like
the
fans
and
followers
of
Vijay
will
have
to
wait
longer
to
feast
their
eyes
on
their
favourite
actor
at
the
theatres
with
his
usual
grand
entry.
On
a
related
note,
Master
will
feature
Malavika
Mohanan
as
Thalapathy's
lady
love.
The
other
cast
includes
Vijay
Sethupathi,
Nassar,
Shanthanu
Bhagyaraj,
Sriman,
Andrea
Jeremiah,
Sanjeev,
Srinath,
VJ
Ramya
and
Azhagam
Perumal
essaying
important
roles.
Master
is
bankrolled
by
Xavier
Britto
under
XB
Film
Creators
in
association
with
Seven
Screen
Studio.
