Controversies
Income tax rai
On 5 February 2020, the Income Tax Department raided Vijay’s residence in Chennai and inquired about potential tax evasion, regarding his investment in immovable properties which he inherited from the production studio AGS Entertainment. Vijay was investigated when he was busy shooting for Master in Neyveli.[125] Nearly ₹65 crore was seized by the officials from the AGS Entertainment producer and film financer Anbu Cheliyan’s residence.[126][127] Later, the I-T department said that nothing significant was found during the raid and Vijay has paid all taxes.[128] Member of parliament Dayanidhi Maran accused the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of politically targeting Vijay through IT raids because he was critical of the BJP.[129][130]
Protests by Bharatiya Janata Party
On 7 February, members of the BJP protested in front of the Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) where the shooting of Master was going on. The BJP members protested against the NLC administration for granting permission for the shoot.[131] Although the film crew had obtained permission for the shoot, the members of the BJP claimed that it is a highly secured area and it’s not a place for a movie shoot and also threatened to continue their protests if the shooting did not stop.[132] Soon, Vijay’s fans started to arrive in numbers and protested against the party workers. The protesters and the fans left after intervention by the police.[133]
100% theatre seating capacity issue in Tamil Nadu
The film was given permission to release the film with 100% seating capacity in theatres with forthcoming other Tamil films by the Government of Tamil Nadu after Vijay personally requested chief minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami for the huge economic setback faced by Tamil Nadu theatre owners and film distributors, despite the increase in COVID-19 cases in India, especially Tamil Nadu.[134][135] Shortly thereafter, the Central Government of India issued a warrant against the Tamil Nadu government’s decision to approve the release of the films with 100% seating capacity.[136] The Central Government stated that 100% seat occupancy is clearly in violation of the guidelines of MHA which only allows 50% seat occupancy in theatres.[137] Many doctors also protested against the film having 100% seating capacity.[138][139] Finally, Central Government notice was passed and it was revoked back to 50% seating capacity in Tamil Nadu theatres.[140]
Impact
Although its release being pushed to January 2021, Master was listed in the Most Anticipated Tamil Films of 2020, in the articles listed by Firstpost and The Indian Express.[141][142] The film topped the list of most tweeted hashtags about movies, in a survey report by Twitter India.[143][144] The #MasterSelfie where Vijay took a selfie along with his fans in a shooting spot from Neyveli,[145] became the most retweeted tweet in India.[146][147]
Dhanush tweeted about the theatrical release of Master, in which he asked fans to follow the safety precautions, while watching the film.[148] Silambarasan also requested the same during the audio launch of his film Eeswaran (2021), for fans to watch films in theatres, following the neccesary guidelines for safety.[149] Director Mysskin[150] and actress Radhikaa Sarathkumar, also praised the actor’s decision to release the film in theatres.[151]
