In the unlock phase amid the COVID-19 crisis, media reports suggest that Thalapathy Vijay’s Master will make the first entry in the cinema halls among the Indian releases.

He added that theatre owners value these producers and they are planning to open theatres sometime soon.

The exhibitor mentioned that the Master might release before Sooryavanshi and ’83.  He said that Hindi films will still wait it out a bit to test the waters, even after theatres reopen.

The theatre owner also informed that for Indian movies, South Indian films will be the first to hit the theatres. Thalapathy Vijay’s Master is certainly going to be the first Indian film to be released once the lockdown is lifted and theatres get permission to reopen.
