The
recent
tweet
of
director
Lokesh
Kanagaraj
indeed
shocked
many
after
he
shared
that
his
film
Master's
footage
has
been
leaked
online.
Several
celebrities
from
the
film
industry
and
fans
came
in
support
of
the
team
and
requested
everyone
to
not
share
the
leaked
clips
by
trending
hashtag
#WeStandWithMaster.
Expressing
extreme
disappointment
and
requesting
everyone
to
wait
for
the
big
release
of
Master,
Lokesh
had
tweeted,
"Dear
all
It's
been
a
1.5-year
long
struggle
to
bring

to
u.
All
we
have
is
hope
that
you'll
enjoy
it
in
theatres.
If
u
come
across
leaked
clips
from
the
movie,
please
don't
share
it.
Thank
u
all.
Love
u
all.
One
more
day
and
#Master
is
all
yours."
Well
now,
as
per
the
latest
report,
Thalapathy
Vijay's
Master
team
had
sent
a
copy
of
the
film
to
a
digital
company
overseas
for
release/promotional
purposes.
Reportedly,
the
employee
of
the
company
had
stolen
and
leaked
the
copy
of
the
film
on
the
internet.
Though
the
motive
behind
the
same
is
not
known,
the
team
is
said
to
have
found
the
culprit
with
the
help
of
the
microblogging
service
Twitter.
Reports
suggest
that
the
makers
have
now
filed
an
FIR
against
the
wrongdoer.
