While fans are waiting to see Yash in KGF Chapter 2, another South-Indian superstar is set to clash with Yash in theatres on April 14. Thalapathy Vijay and Pooja Hegde-starrer Beast is also set to release on the same date. Beast director Nelson Dilipkumar reveals the story behind casting the fresh pair in a film that marked Pooja Hegde’s homecoming to Tamil cinema. Nelson envisioned that Pooja would not only spark a great chemistry with Vijay, but also emerge as the perfect fit for the part, given the fabulous job she did in the blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.

Nelson Dilipkumar says, “When we were finalising the cast for Beast, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo had also just released. In that movie, Pooja was the perfect fit, keeping all of this in mind. She’s a hard-working actor.” —TMS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
