Nelson also went on to thank his producers, as well as the rest of the film's cast and crew. Beast is the fifth Vijay film to break the Rs. 200 crore mark. Beast was dubbed in Hindi, Telugu, and Malayalam and released in those languages. The Hindi version grossed merely Rs. 50 lakh on its first day of release and barely gained momentum after that.
