Talking to a leading media house in the state, the veteran director said the reason why Beast is getting negative reviews from the public is because of its poor writing. “Beast is dearth of good piece of writing. That is the reason why people are giving negative reviews.” Speaking on whether did he enjoy the flick, he stated, “I did enjoy the film initially. But after a point I found it not so engaging and from that point on I lost interest in the film.” Talking about the writing he expressed his disappointment on film maker Nelson Dilipkumar, “Filmmaker Nelson Dilipkumar has tried to capitalize only on Vijay’s star power. He has not worked on his writing and execution. It a total collapse in both the department.”
However, S. A. Chandrasekhar expressed confidence that the entertainer will do well in the box office because of the star power of Vijay. He also added that a large part of the fans come to the theaters just to watch actor Vijay dance. “In that aspect, there will be a treat to all of them as Vijay has nailed the moves in the peppy numbers, ‘Arabic Kuthu’ and ‘Jolly O Gymkhana,’” director S.
