Vijay shares the special Twitter emoji for Master ahead of the theatrical release

Vijay starrer Master will be the first major Indian film to release in theatres since the pandemic. The film which was supposed to release in April 2020 got delayed by the pandemic. The makers patiently waited to release the film in the theatres instead of opting for a direct-to-digital release.

Ahead of the film's release on January 13, Twitter India launched a special emoji based on Vijay's character in the film. Vijay took to Twitter to announce the same on New Year. Ever since the release date announcement was made, the hashtags around the film were trending on the micro-blogging site.
