The latest buzz is that actor Sivakarthikeyan is rumoured to be writing a song for Beast. Anirudh Ravichander will score the music.
The upcoming movie, which is produced by Sun Pictures, has Pooja Hegde playing the female lead. Sun Pictures-funded project has Manoj Paramahamsa handling the cinematography.
Sun Pictures had originally planned Vijay's 65th movie with AR Murugadoss. However, he walked out of the project due to creative differences with the production house. Vetrimaaran, Sudha Kongara, and Magizh Thirumeni were also in the race to direct Vijay-starrer, but in the end, Nelson Dilipkumar got the opportunity to direct the flick.
