Some of the film exhibitors in Tamil Nadu wanted the makers of Master to wait for a little longer before premiering the movie on Amazon Prime Video. To compensate the decision, the theatre owners had reportedly demanded 10% share from the profit of Master. However, even that was refuted by the makers. Now the latest report suggests that the film exhibitors in Tamil Nadu have decided to remove Master from cinema halls from February 3 since it is now available on Amazon Prime Video.
