In the meantime, Meyaadha Maan and Aadai director Rathna Kumar, who is serving on Master as a dialogue writer and co-screenwriter, was also one among the several notable people who participated in the film's audio launch that took place yesterday. A striking aspect about Rathna Kumar was his physical transformation as the popular director was seen having lost a tremendous amount of weight and appeared to be fit and trim.
