Vijay's
Master
is
indeed
ruling
the
box
office
like
a
boss.
Though
there
were
several
speculations
about
the
film's
fate
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
restrictions,
for
the
Lokesh
Kanagaraj
directorial,
the
release
was
nothing
less
than
a
cakewalk.
Recently,
the
action-entertainer
emerged
as
the
number
one
film
at
the
global
box
office
for
its
total
gross
in
the
last
weekend.
Confirming
the
news,
makers
of
the
film
took
to
their
social
media
handle
and
tweeted,
"MasterRaids
the
world!
We
are
officially
the
highest-grossing
movie
on
the
opening
weekend
globally!
Ulagatharam
ullooru
vaathiyaaru!"
The
film
which
has
crossed
Rs
150
crore
at
the
worldwide
box
office,
has
now
acquired
a
total
of
Rs
6-7
crore
(net)
with
its
7th
day
theatrical
run
in
India.
Master
backed
by
Xavier
Britto
under
XB
Film
Creators
in
association
with
Seven
Screen
Studio,
has
music
composed
by
Anirudh
Ravichander
and
camera
cranked
by
Sathyam
Sooryan.
The
action-entertainer
features
an
ensemble
cast
including
Vijay
Sethupathi,
Malavika
Mohanan,
Nassar,
Shanthanu
Bhagyaraj,
Sriman,
Andrea
Jeremiah,
Arjun
Das,
Sanjeev,
Srinath,
VJ
Ramya
and
Azhagam
Perumal
essaying
key
roles.
On
a
related
note,
though
Master
was
initially
scheduled
to
hit
the
screens
on
April
9,
2020,
the
sudden
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown
forced
the
makers
to
postpone
the
release
date.
The
teaser
of
the
Vijay-starrer
was
released
on
November
14,
2020,
on
the
special
occasion
of
Diwali.
On
the
other
hand,
Master
was
released
on
January
13,
2021,
ahead
of
Pongal.
