The long awaited film by Tamil superstar Vijay animal is scheduled to hit theaters on April 13. Ahead of the film’s release, the creators released the film’s trailer. Written and directed by Nelson Dilpkumar, the action thriller stars Pooja Hegde as the female lead.
In the trailer, we meet Vijay as “best and most notorious spy” Veera Raghavan, who is out to save people stuck in Chennai’s East Coast Mall from kidnappers. He is described in the trailer as “mean, leaner and stronger”. He quickly swings the gun and kills with a sword. We get a glimpse of Pooja Hegde who is scared of Vijay’s character.
Beast is Vijay’s 65th film. The film hit the stage last year. However, filming was halted when the second wave of coronavirus brought the country to a standstill again. Later, in April 2021, Vijay and Nelson departed for Georgia where filming began again.
Beast is Pooja’s first film with Vijay. It also marks her comeback in Tamil cinema after a nine year hiatus. The actress made her screen debut in 2012 with director Mysskin’s crime drama Mugamoodi.
Selvaraghavan and Yogi Babu play supporting roles in Beast. Kalanithi Maran financed the film through his production company Sun Pictures. Anirudh Ravichander wrote Beast’s music. The creators had already released two songs from the film’s music album, Arabic Kuthu and Jolly O Gymkhana. The film will clash with Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2 at the box office.
