The plot revolves around Veera Raghavan, an ex RAW agent, who is stuck in a hijacked mall and shoulders the responsibility to eliminate the terrorists. Beast was directed by Nelson Dilipkumar while the music was composed by Anirudh Ravichandran. The movie will release in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi languages.
