Would not have done Beast with anyone but Vijay sir: Nelson

In an interview to a popular magazine, director Nelson has spoken highly of Thalapathy Vijay saying that he is a highly disciplined actor who is second to none when it comes to his timing and work ethic. Nelson said “If not for Vijay sir, I would not have done Beast with anybody else. I even told him that. Vijay sir was easily approachable, I narrated the script to him within a span of 2 hours and he agreed to do the film.”

Nelson also said that Vijay was the one who pushed him to do a film with Superstar Rajinikanth as well, which has now been announced as Thalaivar169.
