The trailer of Vijay’s highly anticipated film Master will release on March 25, according to reports. It was supposed to be released on Sunday, but was pushed due to Janta curfew.
The release of the film which was scheduled for April 9 has also been postponed in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
Helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Master also stars Malavika Mohanan, Andrea Jeremiah, Vijay Sethupati, Shanthanu Bhagyaraj and Arjun Das. This is Sethupathi’s first collaboration with Vijay.
Vijay was in the news recently with Income Tax raids at his home, and allegations of tax evasion for the money he earned with his latest blockbuster Bigil. The searches at Vijay's residence concluded earlier this month. Nothing significant could be recovered from the search.
In February, Income Tax sleuths raided Vijay's residence, besides conducting simultaneous searches at several premises linked to a film production house, movie financier and distributors in connection with suspected tax evasion. Searches are also reportedly being conducted at the properties of AGS Group, AGS Cinemas that produced Vijay's Bigil and film financier Anbu Chezhiyan. Vijay, who was away in Cuddalore district for the shoot of his most recent film Master, was also summoned.
Amid allegations of political motives behind the sudden raids, Former union minister and BJP leader Pon Radhakrishnan had said the raids were not carried out because he was against the saffron party. "BJP has no grudge of any sort against Vijay," he told reporters when asked about the I-T department action.
In the midst of the controversial raids against, Vijay's selfie of the with fans on the sets of Master in Neyveli had gone viral. Vijay took to Twitter to post the picture which showed him and hundreds of fans behind him. “Thank you Neyveli,” he had tweeted.
