The novel coronavirus pandemic has crippled many industries due to the global implementation of lockdown, social distancing, and self-quarantine.
In India, PM Narendra Modi has enforced a lockdown that has affected the cinema industry on a massive scale. Shootings and film releases have been postponed indefinitely and theatres are closed. At uncertain times like these, filmmakers are increasingly favoring OTT platforms as their new solution to digitally release delayed films.
Let's take a look at some of the most anticipated 2020 Kollywood films which have been postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Master (Original Release Date: 9 April 2020)
It's safe to say that 'Master' is the most anticipated film of the year. It will be the first time fans witnessing Thala Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi together on-screen. The first look posters and songs have gone viral on social media!
