Similarities between Beast and Money Heist

Several netizens took to Twitter after the Beast trailer was released and pointed out some striking similarities between the film and Money Heist. They compared the role of Vijay to that of Gandia in Money Heist as he is sent in disguise by army officials to bring hostages out to safety and take on the robbers. Although Vijay's role seems to be similar as he too is an officer, he appears to be in a mall, before a terror attack takes place. Many others believed that the two projects that revolve around heists and include law enforcement officials and robbers are in fact similar to each other. Some also noticed a character with an uncanned resemblance to Walter White from Breaking Bad. 

Several fans also urged netizens to stop comparing the two projects as they defended the upcoming Nelson Dilipkumar directorial. Netizens took to social media and wrote, "Kollywood is not Hollywood". Some also mentioned that although the plot of the film can be similar to Money Heist, what matters is how the director treats the screenplay. They emphasised that the genre invasion thriller includes several films, not just Money Heist and Beast.
