Thalapathy Vijay's 'Beast' directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Sun Pictures is going on in Chennai and the team will soon move to foreign shores for another major schedule. Though we reported the news much earlier to you the official confirmation on the villain of the film came only a few days back.

Ace director Selvaraghavan was roped in the play the chief antagonist in 'Beast' which has raised the expectations much higher. It has now come to light that Nelson initially approached director Mysskin for the role and he was also keen to accept but had to decline.

Mysskin could act with Vijay in 'Beast' because the required dates were already needed for his own 'Pisaasu 2' starring Andrea Jeremiah and Vijay Sethupathi. It is a known fact that the intense filmmaker had worked as an associate in Vijay's 'Youth' and even narrated a script to him later. Unfortunately, fans were robbed of a chance to see this very fresh combo on the screen.
