Thalapathy Vijay-starrer action drama Beast (2022) is all set to make its digital premiere on the popular streaming platform Netflix as well as Sun NXT, the OTT platform of Sun Pictures, which had produced the movie.
The film will be available in multiple languages, including Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi on Netflix. It will be available for viewing on the OTT platform from May 11 onwards.
While Beast opened to great response in theatres, the negative reviews from critics hampered its run at the box office. Also, the film had to face a stiff competition from Yash-starrer KGF: Chapter 2 (2022) which proved to be a record-breaking success. However, Beast managed to turn things to its advantage and earn a profit for the makers; banking majorly on the superstar image of Tamil actor Vijay.
