Are audiences finally ready to visit the theatres amid COVID-19 or is it only star power that can save the film industry at the moment? These could be the questions raised as Vijay’s film Master hit the theatres on Wednesday on the occasion of Pongal. The release was celebrated with fanfare by fans, and it almost seemed like they had put the pandemic behind them.

Right from bursting firecrackers to dancing to the songs, there were scores of people celebrating.
If those were the scenes at the theatres, it was the same inside the theatres too, as fans screamed upon seeing Vijay's name for the first time. Some even reached right up to the screen, danced and waved their shirts when Vijay first appeared on the screen.

Master also stars Vijay Sethupathi in the role of an antagonist. The movie has been tipped as the grand face-off between the stars’ characters. The movie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj , also stars Malavika Mohanan as Vijay’s love interest, as promos and songs raised the excitement for the release.
