Sun Pictures announced the release date of its next film Beast, which stars Tamil actor Vijay in the main role, on Tuesday. The film is slated to be released in theatres on April 13, just one day before another south Indian big-budget film, KGF: Chapter 2.
With the announcement of the release date, the filmmakers also published a new poster featuring Vijay. The actor was spotted sitting with a gun in his hand, giving the image of a guy taking a respite after a difficult battle.
Nelson Dilpkumar wrote and directed the film, which stars Pooja Hegde as the female lead. Since its introduction last year, the film has been making all the right noises. Fans are eager to witness how Nelson handles Vijay’s celebrity in the film. Two tracks from the film’s music album, created by Anirudh, have been released by the filmmakers. While Arabic Kuthu ignited the internet, the party song Jolly O Gymkhana was enthusiastically appreciated by the crowd.
Given that the epidemic has disrupted all release schedules, there is a massive backlog of unreleased films starring major names. And such box office battles appear to be inescapable.
The creators of KGF: Chapter 2 have also begun advertising, since the film is slated to be released on April 14th, as previously promised.
