Thalapathy Vijay is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming film, Master that is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film will feature Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi facing off for the first time. The movie was supposed to hit the screens this Summer but COVID19 played spoilsport.
Reports were floating that the film might release this Diwali. However, sources close to us had earlier revealed that the makers are likely planning for a grand theatrical release next Pongal, in 2021.
Now, it has been come to light that the producer has announced that Vijay's Master will not be seeing its release during Diwali owing to the VPF (Virtual Print Fee) issue. Earlier today, Bharathiraja had issued a statement that VPF fee won’t be given anymore since about 12 years of payment has already been done.
Meanwhile, Master also features Malavika Mohanan, Shanthnu, Arjun Das and Andrea playing crucial roles, with music by Anirudh. Watch this space for more updates.
