We are less than 24 hours away from witnessing the highly anticipated Thalapathy Vijay starrer Beast. The film is all set for a mega grand release in theatres tomorrow (April 13) and the long and patient wait of the fans has come to an end. Ahead of the release, the makers have now released a new promo and this promo is laced with an equal amount of action sequences and talkie portions. The promo has caught the attention of the fans and has been doing good rounds on social media. The makers have been releasing promos on a daily basis to build up the expectations and this one serves its purpose neatly.
This promo also carries a new shot of the 'Arabic Kuthu' video song and it looks like the song has been shot in a grand fashion. Beast will be a high octane action entertainer that will also have a fair share of comedy. Produced by Sun Pictures, the film has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander whose songs have delivered its purpose effectively and his background score is also going to prove as one of the wealthy assets of the film. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Beast has Manoj Paramahamsa of Nanban and Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa fame handling the cinematography and the ace lensman seems to have upped the bar with his work.
Nirmal and Drk Kiran have headed the editing and art direction departments respectively. Beast has Pooja Hegde playing the female lead, marking her second outing in Tamil cinema after Mugamoodi which was her debut as an actor. Pooja will be playing the character of Preethi, while Vijay will be seen as Veera Raghavan, a secret RAW agent who needs to rescue innocent people, held as hostages inside a shopping mall. Beast will have a pan Indian release on a record number of screens in 5 languages - Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi. However, the buzz for the Hindi version is quite weak.
