Idris Elba’s Beast to Hit Indian Theatres on September 2

The survival thriller Beast, starring Idris Elba, will premiere in Indian theatres on September 2. Based on a unique concept by Jaime Primak Sullivan, the Universal Pictures project was directed by Baltasar Kormakur of Everest renown. Along with Leah Jeffries, Sharlto Copley, and Iyana Halley playing crucial roles, Elba plays the lead in the film.

The movie centers on Dr. Nate Samuels (Elba), who must defend himself and his two teenage daughters in South Africa from a large rogue lion. “Beast” was produced by Will Packer and James Lopez under their Will Packer Productions company. He spoke to Digital Spy in an exclusive, “I think that the trailer — and I shouldn’t say this — but the trailer is slightly misleading from what the film is because it was not just ‘Idris punching a lion’,”
