Originally planned as Vijay’s 65th film, titled “Thalapathy 65,” the project faced changes in its production. Initially, AR Murugadoss was set to direct, but he was later replaced by Nelson due to disagreements over remuneration. Filming began in April 2021 and concluded in December of the same year, taking place in Chennai, Delhi, and Georgia. The movie features music by Anirudh, cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa, and editing by R. Nirmal. “Beast” was released on April 13, 2022, receiving mixed reviews for its cast performances, technical elements, and music, while criticism focused on its outdated plot.
The plot centers around a busy city location hijacked by an international terrorist group demanding the release of their leader. The Indian government negotiates with the terrorists, discovering that a former RAW agent, once a colleague, is among the hostages. They seek his help to rescue those trapped. As the government concedes to the terrorists’ demands, the RAW agent cleverly outmaneuvers and defeats them, ensuring the hostages’ safety.
