Master's fierce third poster roars with rage; Ultimate Vijay vs Vijay battle coming soon!
Makers of 'Master' dropped the 3rd look for the film on Jan 26 swiftly becoming an internet sensation. The highly anticipated poster features Vijay Sethupathi.
Third Time's a charm? That may be the case for Director Lokesh Kanagaraj as makers unveiled the highly anticipated Master's third poster, unravelling the looks of Vijay Sethupathi, touted to be the antagonist for the film. After Maanagaram and Kaithi's rousing victory run at the Box Office, director Lokesh Kanagaraj took Kollywood by surprise when he announced that he signed a film with 'Thalapathi' Vijay and 'Makkal Selvan' Vijay Sethupathi.
Keeping with the momentum of the day, Vijay fans and ardent lovers of cinema have another reason to rejoice after the makers of Master launched their Third look poster on January 26, coinciding with Republic Day celebrations across the country.

Even before the poster was officially launched by the actors through their handles, fans unsurprisingly trended #Masterthirdlook on Twitter. Released at 5 PM, the post was quickly retweeted over 52,000 times and "liked" over 112,000 times by netizens, making it go viral.
While it's not uncommon that Vijay's film posters and teasers take the internet by storm, what was unique about this one is that popular South Indian actor Vijay Sethupathi is also in it.
The poster shows both actors battered and bruised, and in a fit of unbeguiled rage. The tone, mostly in Black and White leaves little to the imagination about the action-packed thriller that this movie promises to deliver.
Needless to say, expectations for the film are already sky-high after the first and second look were released periodically, teasing the audience of what is to come. The first and second look posters for the film launched on Dec 31 and Jan 16 for Pongal, quite literally breaking the internet with its fierce and captivating design.
