Thalapathy
Vijay
recently
kickstarted
the
second
schedule
shooting
of
his
65th
film,
which
has
been
titled
Beast.
The
shooting
of
the
Nelson
Dilipkumar
directorial
resumed
in
Chennai,
a
couple
of
days
back.
Now,
the
sources
close
to
the
Thalapathy
Vijay
starrer
have
now
revealed
a
major
development
regarding
the
shooting
schedule
of
Beast.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
Vijay
has
instructed
the
makers
of
Beast
to
shoot
the
rest
of
the
portions
of
the
movie
in
Chennai
itself.
Initially,
the
last
two
schedules
of
the
movie
were
supposed
to
be
filmed
in
Mumbai
and
Delhi,
respectively.
However,
those
schedules
are
now
cancelled,
upon
the
instructions
from
the
leading
man.
According
to
the
sources,
Thalapathy
Vijay
decided
to
shoot
Beast
entirely
in
Chennai,
due
to
the
spike
in
COVID-19
cases
in
the
country.
Currently,
the
team
is
shooting
the
song
sequences
in
Sree
Gokulam
Film
Studios.
Both
Vijay
and
leading
lady
Pooja
Hegde
are
a
part
of
the
Chennai
schedule.
The
Nelson
directorial,
which
is
being
made
with
a
massive
budget,
reportedly
features
Thalapathy
Vijay
in
the
role
of
a
con
artist.
It
has
also
been
speculated
that
the
renowned
filmmaker-turned-actor,
Selvaraghavan
has
been
roped
in
to
play
the
lead
antagonist
in
the
project.
However,
the
makers
have
not
confirmed
these
reports
yet.
Popular
Malayalam
actor
Shine
Tom
Chacko
is
appearing
in
a
key
role
in
Beast,
which

Yogi
Babu,

and
so
in
the
supporting
roles.
