Actor Vijay's current movie is Master, which marks the third directorial of Kaithi director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Apart from Vijay, the film also co-stars Malavika Mohanan, Vijay Sethupathi, Arjun Das, Shanthnu in important roles.
Incidentally, the movie was scheduled to hit the screens by April 9 this year. But apparently due to the lockdown conditions, this was not possible. Hence, according to sources close to us, it has been learnt that makers of the Master movie are eyeing for a release by October 22 (Vijayadasami) or Nov 13 (for Diwali), because internationally, theatres are expected to function normally only after September or October. Even so, the final decision is expected to be taken only after theatres in India starts to operate.
This mass action entertainer is jointly bankrolled by XB Film Creators in association with Seven Screen Studio. Vijay will be donning the role of a professor named John Durairaj. Vijay was last seen in Bigil, directed by Atlee. Bigil was released in 2019.
Also, it was exclusively learnt that Master will not be a direct OTT release. With Sathyan Sooryan handling the cinematography, Master is edited by Philomin Raj and features music by Anirudh Ravichander.
