Southern superstar Vijay's post on Beast becomes most liked and retweeted tweet from Indian film industry

Southern superstar Vijay is one of the most successful actors that Indian cinema has ever produced. The superstar enjoys a massive fan following. He has delivered some of the biggest blockbusters in Tamil language over the years. When a lot of filmmakers were scared of releasing their films in the pandemic, his film Master (2021) did not only open exceptionally well in theaters but it also went on to emerge as one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of all-times.

Right after the release of Master, Vijay announced his next film Beast. His post revealing the first look of the film has set a new record as it becomes the most retweeted and liked tweet from the Indian cinema for the year 2021, Twitter said on Thursday.       

Vijay had posted about the new film in June this year. The post received over 3.42 lakh likes and saw over 10 thousand retweets. Last year, the actor's post, a selfie with his fans, was the most retweeted tweet in entertainment. 

Mahesh Babu's tweet about resuming work for Sarkaru Vaari Paata was the most-quote-retweeted post on Twitter. Five films from the South were the most talked about movies from the entertainment world, including Vijay's Master and Beast, which were placed at number one and three spots, respectively.       

Ajith Kumar-starrer Valimai was placed at number two, while Suriya's critically-acclaimed movie Jai Bhim was number four. Pawan Kalyan's Vakeel Saab, the Telugu remake of Taapsee Pannu and Amitabh Bachchan’s courtroom drama Pink (2016), took the fifth spot.
