Thalapathy Vijay is one of the prominent figures in the Tamil entertainment industry. He has several hits to his acting credit including the Mersal, Master and others. Master, released in 2021, has grabbed headlines after 3 years owing to its comparison made by a social media user on Twitter. The user alleged that Master is a ripoff of the Mammootty starrer 1989 film Mudra.
The user attached clips from both films on Twitter, performing a comparative analysis. Surprisingly, many scenes look copied from Mudra. Some of the differences evident in both films are the change in settings and a few other changes by the makers. The scenes included in both clips are- a dance sequence, the entry sequence, etc.

Vijay’s Master had courted many controversies even during the shooting as well. Members belonging to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) protested near Neyveli Coal Mine demanding the makers stop the film’s shooting. Around 20 BJP members protested against the NLC administration for allowing the star to continue with the shoot in a mining belt. “This is a highly secured area and this is not the place to do a movie shoot. We will continue our protest if the shooting continues here,” one of the BJP protestors had said.
Lokesh Kanagaraj had directed Master. The film boasted an ensemble cast starring Vijay Sethupathi, Malavika Mohanan, Arjun Das, Shanthnu Bhagyaraj and others.
As of now, Thalapathy Vijay is looking forward to his film The Greatest of All Time. Venkat Prabhu has written and directed this movie. Jayaram, Sneha, Meenaakshi Chaudhary and others have also acted in The Greatest of All Time. AGS Entertainment has backed this film. According to reports, Venkat plans to complete the shooting of this film by the April end. As of now, one of the film’s schedules has been wrapped up in Puducherry.
