Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi starrer Master premiered on Amazon Prime Video today (January 29). Master got a terrific response at the box-office. It released in theatres on January 13. The movie not only minted a good amount in India but also globally. Both the Tamil and Telugu versions are performing well. In fact, in Tamil Nadu, Master has crossed over Rs 100 crore at the box office. Now, as Master has released on OTT, exhibitors and distributors seem to be not so happy with the decision of the makers. Rakesh Gowthaman, owner of Vettri Theatres in Chennai, told indianexpress.com, “We were all shocked. We would have actually made profits in the third and fourth week, and now this OTT release will eat into our weekend crowds. We are about to take a big hit.”
But, Vijay Sethupathi is happy with this decision by the makers. He said in a statement that with the film’s global digital release, they are hoping to reach a wider audience of different regions that otherwise wouldn’t have been possible. Master is getting a great response even in the OTT platform.
Fans of Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi are all praise for their performances in the action drama. Check out some of the reactions of fans on Twitter here.
