Master director Lokesh Kanagaraj's official statement on his Facebook and Instagram pages

A film that has everybody hooked with massive anticipation is the upcoming 'Thalapathy' Vijay and 'Makkal Selvan' Vijay Sethupathi starrer, Master, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, which features chart-buster music by Anirudh Ravichander. Produced by Vijay's uncle, Xavier Britto under the XB Film Creators banner in association with Lalit Kumar's 7 Screen Studios, the film billed to be an intense action thriller in the lines of Lokesh Kanagaraj's earlier ventures, Maanagaram and Kaithi, was initially planned for a worldwide release this month on the 9th. However, those plans have taken a backseat for well over two-three weeks now owing to the coronavirus pandemic, which has caused loss of life on a worldwide scale leaving thousands dead with millions testing positive for the dreaded disease.

With promotions for Master not being carried out in an active manner as was a few days back, director Lokesh Kanagaraj has now issued a clarification on his Twitter page stating that all accounts under his name on social networking platforms namely Facebook and Instagram are completely fake. He went on to register the fact that his only social media presence was on Twitter while also requesting fans and followers of being aware of fraudsters who create fake accounts under his name. Check out Lokesh Kanagaraj's tweet below:

Guys, I’m not in facebook or instagram I’m active only in @twitter all other accounts are FAKE Beware!
