year.
The
rumours
regarding
the
OTT
release
of
Master
have
been
doing
round
in
social
media
from
the
past
few
days.
It
was
speculated
that
the

get
an
online
release
before

theatrical
release
due

the
all
India
lockdown.
However,

now
rubbished
the
speculations.
According

of
the
Vijay
starrer
have
absolutely
no
plans
to
release
the
movie
in
the

platform,
before

release.
The
latest
reports
suggest
that
the
makers
are
willing
to
wait
till
everything
is
back
to
normal,
to
release
Master
in
theaters.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
Amazon
Prime,
the
renowned
OTT
platform
has
bagged
the
online

However,
both
the
Amazon
Prime
team
and
the
makers
of
Master
have
not
reacted
to
the

yet.
Interestingly,
Master
is
all
set
to
emerge
as
the
first
multi-lingual
pan-Indian
film
of
its
lead
actor
Vijay's
career.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
