Thalapathy Vijay's new movie 'Beast' is in a nonstop shooting mode in a grand shopping mall set in which a major portion of the film is set. The team was shocked by the leak of a BTS photo that showed Vijay wearing a blood stained white shirt and another video as well.

The latest update on 'Beast' is that a new actress has been signed on to play Vijay's mother character. Director Nelson is known for his peculiar casting and hence he has opted for popular Sun TV newsreader Sujatha Babu Ramesh to add freshness playing the mother to Thalapathy. Though Sujatha has appeared in a few films this will be her first major role and in such a big budgeted project.

'Beast' directed by Nelson is produced by Sun Pictures with Anirudh Ravichander scoring the music. The cast comprises of Vijay, Pooja Hegde, Yogi Babu, VTV Ganesh and Selvaraghavan.
