Recently, social media was rife with speculation that Vijay had directed a scene in the film which will feature cameo appearances of director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rathna Kumar, the co-writer of Master. While it is indeed true that the duo will be appearing in a very interesting cameo roles in the film, our close sources have revealed that Vijay did not direct the scene, thereby calling it a rumour.
With a technical crew that consists of cinematographer Sathyan Sooryan, editor Philomin Raj and art director Sathees Kumar, Master will see the collaboration of Vijay and composer Anirudh after a gap of five years post Kaththi, which was directed by AR Murugadoss.
