Which Bollywood films will Beast clash with?

Apart from clashing with KGF 2 at the box office, Beast will also clash with Laal Singh Chaddha, which is slated to release on April 14. Backed by Aamir Khan Productions, the company released a statement announcing the release date of the movie as they wrote, "Aamir Khan Productions' Laal Singh Chaddha's release date stands as Baisakhi, 14th April 2022, contrary to some misleading stories. We once again would like to thank everyone who has supported us in the journey of making this film."

The film will also be released only a day before Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur's sports drama Jersey. Shahid had earlier taken to Twitter to announce the release of the film after it was postponed on several occasions. Announcing the news to his fans, he wrote, "So so happy to announce that our beloved film #Jersey will be releasing worldwide in theatres on the 14th of April 2022. See you in the theatres."
