Thalapathy
Vijay's
next
Master
has
been
constantly
getting
delayed
due
to
the
Coronavirus
pandemic.
The
Lokesh
Kanagaraj's
directorial
venture
was
earlier
scheduled
to
be
released
on
April
9,
but
after
the
Tamil
Nadu
government
announced
to
close
the
theatres
in
the
state,
the
makers
had
to
postpone
the
Vijay-starrer.
Master
has
already
created
a
solid
buzz
amongst
the
masses.
Vijay's
fans
can't
keep
calm
to
witness
Thalapathy's
magic
on
the
big
screen.
However,
they
will
now
have
to
wait
for
a
long
time
to
see
the
film
in
theatres.
As
we
all
know
that
Master
makers
have
already
decided
to
release
the
film
in
theatres,
and
since
then,
fans
are
eagerly
waiting
for
state
government's
decision
to
reopen
cinema
halls.
But
recently,
Tamil
Nadu
Information
and
Broadcasting
Minister
Kadambur
Raju
informed
media
that
they
will
not
open
the
theatres
in
the
state
until
the
situations
get
better.
In
an
interaction
with
media,
the
Minister
said
that
it
is
not
possible
to
re-open
theatres
in
Tamil
Nadu
as
it
could
increase
the
COVID-19
spread
because
of
large
gatherings.
He
also
confirmed
that
theatres
are
likely
to
reopen
only
after
situation
returns
back
to
normal.
The
I&B
minister
of
Tamil
Nadu
also
shared
his
opinion
on
OTT
releases.
He
feels
releasing
films
directly
on
OTT
is
not
healthy
for
the
film
industry.
Well,
this
decision
has
broken
the
hearts
of
Vijay's
fans
as
they
were
hoping
for
some
positive
news
from
the
state
government.
Apart
from
Master,
Dhanush-starrer
Jagame
Thandhiram
and
Vikram's
Cobra
might
also
get
delayed,
as
the
makers
of
those
films
have
also
decided
to
release
it
in
theatres.
On
the
other
hand,
Suriya
also
preferred
to
release
his
next
Soorarai
Pottru
on
OTT
platform.
However,
the
distributors
are
disappointed
with
his
decision.
Coming
back
to
Master,
Vijay's
next
also
features
Vijay
Sethupathi,
Malavika
Mohanan
and
Andrea
Jeremiah
in
key
roles.
Now,
after
the
TN
government's
decision,
fans
are
waiting
for
the
reaction
of
Master's
makers.
