More About Master
Master follows the life of a young and charming college professor who suffers from alcohol addiction. The film picks up when he is sent to a three-month teaching stint at a juvenile rehabilitation centre in the hopes that he will ameliorate his own situation while at it. After a series of peculiar events, he soon realises that the centre is actually home to many criminal activities and the children admitted in it are used for the same. The man behind the nefarious act is, non-other than, JD (Vijay Sethupathi). Who will win the ultimate battle? Will the truth triumph?
Master is the first movie to star two of the biggest stars in the Tamil Industry, Thalapathy Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi together. So one can imagine the amount of hype it's producing. The movie has already earned Rs.40 crores and filled theatres to the hilt in Tamil Nadu.
