Initially Selvaraghavan was said to be the main antagonist of the film but the trailer has revealed him as the government negotiator and could have a surprise baddie turn in the climax.

Meanwhile a hideous looking masked villain has caught the eye of viewers in the 'Beast' trailer and there is great curiosity as to who that is. The cast of the film has Malayalam star Shine Tom Chacko as well as theater and film artiste Ankur Ajit Vikal of 'Slumdog Millionaire' and 'Mariyan' fame.
