MUMBAI

With Master’s stupendous performance at the Box Office, the industry has finally opened to thinking positive about releasing films on the big screens. The Thalapathy Vijay starrer has crossed the benchmark of Rs 200 crore worldwide with Rs 100 crore in Tamil Nadu alone. Not just that, the Lokesh Kanagaranj-directorial has also made Vijay the only star with four Rs 100 crore grossing films in Tamil Nadu, beating the likes of superstar Rajinikanth and Thala Ajith. 

With Master crossing Rs 100 crore in Tamil Nadu, Thalapathy Vijay has got four films that have achieved the feat in the state – Bigil, Mersal, and Sarkar. Both Rajinikanth and Ajith have got one film crossing Rs 100 crore in Tamil Nadu. 

Master’s performance in Telugu speaking states is also superb. The film has grossed over Rs 13 crore from Andhra Pradesh/ Telangana alone and has been declared a ‘blockbuster’ already.

Vijay is the highest-grossing superstar at the Tamil Nadu Box Office with a collection of Rs 550 crore (all films released so far) and Master still bringing-in the moolah. He’s followed by Rajinikanth who has collected Rs 420 crore from Tamil Nadu with all his films, and Ajith at Rs 370 crore.

Master is unstoppable in both domestic and international markets and has emerged as the biggest pandemic release of the year so far. The film also stars Vijay Sethupathi in the role of the antagonist and Malavika Mohanan as its female lead.
