SA Chandrasekar was reportedly quoted saying to a Tamil News Channel that there was no screenplay in the film Beast and that the director did not do his research well. He said, “I enjoyed Arabic Kuthu like a die-hard fan would. But, Beast relied solely on Vijay’s stardom. The film was a serious subject about international terrorist organisations. There should be magic in the screenplay. Where is it?The director has to study how the military functions. He should know how a RAW agent behaves. That was missing.” Also Read – Will Yash’s KGF 2 storm at the box office affect Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey? Trade Expert Reveals [Exclusive]

He was further quoted saying, “There’s no doubt that Beast will become a hit. However, the film worked because of a music director, a fight master, a dance master, an editor and a hero.” Also Read – Here’s how Ranbir Kapoor’s niece Samara extended a warm welcome to ‘mami’ Alia Bhatt

Even though I had a rough patch with him, I am still his devoted son.”
