New Delhi: The highly-anticipated movie ‘Master’ finally hits cinema halls and his fans can’t keep calm. Master starring Thalapathy Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi is the first movie to release in movie theatre amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial has now become the latest target of piracy sites such as Tamilrockers and Telegram, among many others.
The film is available in HD quality for free download and it might affect the box office collection of the film and this has left the makers worried.
The movie revolves around a young professor named John Durairaj aka JD who is an alcoholic and is in the juvenile home to teach children for a period of three months. While his stay there, he comes face-to-face with a deadly gangster (Vijay Sethupathi), and their clash forms the crux of the film
After the leak, Lokesh and producer XB Film Creators have requested fans to not share the leaked clips online. He tweeted, “Dear all it’s been a 1.5-year-long struggle to bring Master to u. All we have is hope that you’ll enjoy it in theatres. If u come across leaked clips from the movie, please don’t share it. Thank u all. Love u all. One more day and #Master is all yours. (sic)
