The latest poster of Vijay’s much-anticipated Beast was unveiled on Friday. Also starring Pooja Hegde, the action thriller is set to hit cinema halls in April next year.
The Twitter page of Sun Pictures tweeted the new poster of the film. The caption read, “Happy New Year Nanba From team #Beast.”
Written and directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Beast marks Vijay’s 65th film. The film went on floors earlier this year. However, the shoot was halted as the second wave of coronavirus brought the country to a standstill again. Later, in April this year, Vijay and Nelson left for Georgia, where the shooting began again.
Beast marks Pooja Hegde’s first film with Vijay. It also marks her comeback to Tamil cinema after a gap of nine years. The actor, who has several interesting projects in her kitty, made her silver screen debut with Mysskin’s crime drama Mugamoodi in 2012.
It is noteworthy it was not the first time SRK has shared his admiration for Vijay on a public platform. Several years ago, during an award show in Chennai, the Bollywood star went out of his way to appreciate Vijay and as always he had a lot of fun doing it. In fact, SRK made Vijay shed his trademark self-effacing demeanour for a few moments and shake a leg in front of a live audience.
In 2013, SRK was about to hand a trophy to Vijay honouring his performance in the 2012 action film Thuppakki. But instead of simply handing the award to Vijay and exiting the stage, he did something completely off script. He persuaded Vijay to shake a leg with him. And, it is not easy to say no to King Khan when he asks you so politely, no? After a few minutes of awkward silence on stage, Vijay begins to move to “Google Google” song, which was sung by him for Thuppakki. And SRK follows Vijay’s lead as he tries to mimic one of the best dancers in Indian cinema.
