Master is one of the highly anticipated films and has been touted as the one that'd bring the crowds back to the theatres which is currently seeing less than a favourable audience.
Meanwhile, one of the leading distributors in Kollywood, Tiruppur Subramaniam confirmed Master would release in theatres for Pongal and thanked Vijay for not releasing the film on OTT platforms.
Distributors and theatre owners have been displeased with the decision of a few filmmakers to release their films directly on to OTT platforms as they fear it could be a killjoy for their business.
Master is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and stars Vijay, Vijay Sethupathi, Master Mahendran, Arjun Das, Shanthnu Bhagyaraj, Malavika Mohanan, Andrea and several others in pivotal roles.
Anirudh scores music. The film is likely to be in theatres on January 13, 2021 and has been certified 'UA'.
