Thalapathy Vijay's most awaited film 'Master' is scorching hot in the trade ever since it was announced. The film slated for release on April 9th this year had to be pushed to a later date due to the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns. Many OTT platforms are vying for the film as its demand is not only in Tamil but among audiences of most other Indian languages including Hindi.
