Beast (stylised on-screen as BeAst) is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language action comedy film[4] written and directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. It is produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures. The film stars Vijay and Pooja Hegde in the lead roles, alongside Selvaraghavan, Shaji Chen, VTV Ganesh, Ankur Vikal, Aparna Das, Sathish Krishnan, Shine Tom Chacko, Yogi Babu and Redin Kingsley. The film is about an ex-RAW agent who seeks to rescue the hostages in a shopping mall which is hijacked by terrorists with the intentions of freeing their leader, who was previously captured by the agent.
Sun Pictures acquired the production rights for Vijay's 65th film in January 2020. AR Murugadoss was initially signed to direct it; however, he was ousted from the film, after he refused to cut his remuneration. Nelson was subsequently brought on board, with announcement in December 2020 under the tentative title Thalapathy 65, and the official title was announced in June 2021. Principal photography commenced in April 2021. It was shot in several locations including Chennai, Delhi and Georgia, and wrapped by mid-December 2021. The film has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography was handled by Manoj Paramahamsa and editing by R. Nirmal.
Beast was released worldwide on 13 April 2022 in theatres to mixed reviews from critics, who praised its cast performances (especially Vijay, Pooja Hedge and Selvaraghavan), soundtrack, musical score, visuals and entertainment factor but criticized the weak storyline, pace and screenplay.[3][5] Despite this, the film was a commercial success,[6] grossing ₹217–300 crore worldwide,[b] becoming one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of all time.[11] The film was screened at the Rome International Film Festival, Veneto International Film Festival, Italy and Eastern Europe Film Festival.[12][13][14]
