Kochi: Theatres reopened on Wednesday after remaining shut for more than 10 months amid the pandemic outbreak and lockdown. Vijay starrer ‘Master’ was released in Kerala theatres with the first show at 9 am.
Vijay fans flocked the theatres for watching their favourite star’s most anticipated movie. Long queues of fans were found in most of the theatres in the state.
