'Beast' has been released all over the world on thousands of screens. It is enjoying a massive release in Tamil and a big release in Telugu as well.

Meanwhile, a fire accident has been reported from an undisclosed location in Tamil Nadu. During an early morning show, the screen in an unknown theatre caught fire. At first, the audience assumed that the fire is part of the action scene playing out. Slowly, they realized that it was an accident.

Since it was a small one, the fire could be doused in time. Nobody was injured. The audience, much as they were shocked, maintained calm and didn't jostle one another. There was no melee.

'Beast', co-starring Vijay and Pooja Hegde, is directed by Nelson. VTV Ganesh's performance is coming in for praise. With music by Anirudh, 'Beast' is an action comedy.
