The
lockdown
imposed
by
the
government
to
curb
the
spread
of
deadly
Novel
Coronavirus
has
indeed
affected
the
Indian
film
industry.
Ever
since
the
lockdown
was
announced,
many
big
films'
releases
have
been
pushed
and
Vijay-starrer
Master
is
one
of
them.
Master
starring
Vijay
was
earlier
scheduled
to
be
released
on
April
9,
2020.
The
post-production
work
of
the
film
was
almost
done
but
lockdown
scrapped
everything.
Considering
the
buzz
amongst
masses,
the
Lokesh
Kanagaraj's
directorial
venture
Master's
theatrical
rights
were
sold
at
a
huge
amount
in
major
areas
of
Tamil
Nadu.
But
the
postponement
of
the
film
has
landed
its
makers
into
trouble.
According
to
the
report
published
by
a
leading
YouTube
channel,
the
distributors
are
asking
producer
Lalith
Kumar
to
return
the
money
or
reduce
the
theatrical
rights.
Reacting
to
the
distributors'
demand,
the
Master
producer
has
reportedly
assured
that
he
will
reportedly
bear
the
50
per
cent
loss
and
said
that
he
will
reduce
the
price
of
his
upcoming
production
venture,
Cobra
starring
Vikram
and
Srinidhi
Shetty
in
lead
roles.
The
reports
are
not
yet
confirmed
by
the
Master
makers.
Talking
about
Vijay's
film
Master,
it
also
stars
Vijay
Sethupathi
in
the
negative
role
while
Malavika
Mohanan
and
Andrea
Jeremiah
in
pivotal
roles.
Master
is
also
produced
by
Xavier
Britto
under
XB
Film
Creators.
The
music
has
been
composed
by
Anirudh
Ravichander
and
the
songs
like
'Oru
Kutti
Kathai'
and
'Vaathi
Coming'
have
already
become
chartbusters.
