Beast second look: Vijay is in all-out action mode in Nelson Dilipkumar’s next

It’s double the joy for Thalapathy fans on Vijay’s birthday! While the makers of his upcoming Nelson Dilipkumar directorial, Beast, unveiled its first look poster and the film’s title on June 21, they had another surprise in store for the Tamil superstar’s birthday.

The producers, Sun Pictures, took to their social media page to share the second look poster of Beast and it’s action-packed. The poster of the movie, which promises to be loaded with ‘mass’ action scenes, has Vijay reloading his gun while literally biting a bullet as two attack helicopters are seen in the background.

The first look poster, which was released on Monday, had Vijay posing with a sniper as a smoke canister clouds the scene.  

Beast, which marks Nelson’s third directorial after Nayanthara’s Kolamavu Kokila and Sivakarthikeyan’s Doctor, had begun its first schedule in April and had wrapped up those portions in a month. The next schedule has been delayed due to the lockdown.

The big-budget film also has Pooja Hegde, Shine Tom Chacko, VTV Ganesh, Yogi Babu and Aparna Das. Beast’s music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, who was also the music director of Vijay’s previous movie Master that was directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and had Vijay Sethupathi playing the antagonist.

Incidentally, it was Anirudh who had suggested Nelson’s name to Vijay, when the latter was looking for scripts for his 65th film. Vijay was earlier in talks with several noted directors including AR Muragadoss before he had picked Beast as his next movie.
