Vijay's Master is highly anticipated film of the year. If there isn't any lockdown due to COVID-19, the film would have been released on April 9th 2020. Ever-since Vijay's alliance with the Kaithi fame director Lokesh Kanagaraj was announced there has been a huge expection from the fans.

The film’s final post-production work is going on and the master copy of the 'Master' movie, which is running for 165 minutes, has been sent to the censor board. The trailer of movie is expected to release this month.

Government of Tamil Nadu recently has gave permission to open theaters to do maintenance work and have it ready for public usage. Theatre owners feel that they can run the shows by having safe precautions, frequent sanitization and asking audiences to maintain social distancing in the complex premises.

Meanwhile director, producer and exhibitor Keyaar has submitted a request to Government asking to push the release of the movie by few months if the theatres are reopened.

"Since Vijay’s films attract fans and family audiences in large numbers, the risk of the virus spreading will be very high. It will be a black mark on him is any such thing happens. The large number of audience would be tough to control at canteens, counters and restrooms.", he said in an interview. He wishes the movie to have a grand world-wide release once the coronavirus fear settles down completely, thereby making public to visit theatres safetly. He suggests small to medium budget films to release in the first three months after theatres are opened.

The news has created forum for Vijay fans to discuss on social media. Keyaar's statement gets mixed reactions from Netizens.

Vijay will be playing the role of a college professor in film. Master also features Vijay Sethupathi, Andrea Jeremiah, Malavika Mohanan, Shantanu Bhagyaraj, Arjun Das and Gouri Kishan in pivotal roles.
