Thalapathy Vijay starrer Master leaked before the release of the movie, makers urged not to share it

Ahead of the release of Thalapathy Vijay starrer Master, a few clips from Vijay’s Master was allegedly leaked online. Several persons from the film’s crew, including director Lokesh Kanagaraj and the producers XB Film Creators, took to social media to appeal to the audience to not share the leaked clips. It was not just the film crew, but Vijay’s fans, too, actively campaigned on Twitter and other social media platforms to urge people not to share the content online. 

Master, starring Vijay, Vijay Sethupathi and Malavika Mohanan in the lead, is scheduled to hit the screens on Wednesday. The film was supposed to release in 2020. However, due to the pandemic, the release was pushed for Pongal 2021. On Monday evening, several crew members took to Twitter to implore the users to not share or forward any leaked clips from the film that they might receive. 

“Dear all, it's been a 1.5-year-long struggle to bring Master to you. All we have is hope that you'll enjoy it in theatres. If you come across leaked clips from the movie, please don't share it. Thank you all. Love you all. One more day and #Master is all yours,” Director Lokesh Kanagaraj said.
