Tamil actioner Master starring Thalapathy Vijay and Vijay Sethupati is performing amazingly well at the ticket window and also has been garnering positive reviews from the audience as well as critics. The film was released in theatres on January 13, 2021. However, the movie had faced an unfortunate situation where many clips were leaked online prior to its release. After this incident, even the director, Lokesh Kanagraj, had urged all to not circulate the videos. Now, reportedly, the person who had leaked the clips has been identified. That's not it, as a police complaint also has been registered against him and his company. Fact Check: Thalapathy Vijay's Master Posters Suggesting its Premiere on Amazon Prime are Fake.
