Ghajini-fame Murugadoss Was Dropped as Director Midway

When the discussions for Beast started, Murguadoss was confirmed to be on the board as director. However, the budget was tight as the film was delayed due to a pandemic. Even Thalapathy Vijay who was earlier promised Rs 100 crore as remuneration decided to cut down his fees by 30%.

But the Ghajini-fame director refused and hence was replaced by Nelson Dilipkumar.
