The incumbent pontiff of Madurai Aadheenam, who is known for his controversial remarks, has now gone an extra mile and advocated not to watch the movies of actor Vijay.
It's Vijay's first outing with Telugu director Vamsi Paidipally, who is helming this project while popular producer Dil Raju takes charge of bankrolling it.
Though Beast has grossed well commercially, it has opened to mixed reviews that were weighed by negative reviews from the critics and even from a section of fans.
Ajith's next, tentatively named AK 61, has been bankrolled by Boney Kapoor and helmed by H Vinoth. Ajith will be playing a negative role and shooting has been taking place in Hyderabad.
In his statement, Nelson wrote, "Thank you Vijay sir for hosting us. It was a fun-filled and memorable evening with the whole team. I take this moment to thank Vijay sir for his love and support."
Sun Pictures, which bankrolls 'Beast', took to Twitter and released the trailer at 6 pm on Saturday. It wrote, "The much-awaited Beast trailer is here."
