'Beast': Makers to recreate Kashmir in Georgia for military scenes

“While there is a common notion that a major chunk of Beast unfolds in Georgia, it’s not the case. The makers are recreating Kashmir and the Indo – Pak border in Georgia to shoot some army based sequences featuring Thalapathy Vijay. There’s a track in which the superstar will be seen as an army officer guarding the Indian border in Kashmir, before he shifts his base to Chennai. This forms a crucial emotional crust of the film,” revealed an ecclusive source close to the development to Pinkvilla.

Team Beast will be able to focus on getting the film ready for a summer 2022 theatrical release after the Georgia schedule is completed. The main plot of Beast takes place in a shopping mall that has been taken over by terrorists, with a subplot set against the backdrop of the Indian army. It all comes down to Vijay's ability to grab control and free all of the hostages without incurring any casualties. In the film, Pooja Hegde plays his love interest. According to insiders, the film is an invasion thriller with plenty of action and emotions. According to rumours, fans of Thalapathy Vijay will be able to see him in a whole new avatar. Following Beast, Vijay will work on Vamsi Paidipally's Thalapathy 66, which will be directed by Dil Raju. It is said to have one of the world's largest multilingual Tamil–Telugu populations.
