Shah Rukh also shared Beast's trailer. Beast, a Tamil action thriller, is written and directed by Nelson and produced by Sun Pictures. The film stars Vijay, Pooja Hegde, Selvaraghavan, Yogi Babu and Redin Kingsley.

Reacting to his tweet, a fan replied, "Thank you to the Badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan sir for his tweet on #Beast trailer. Excellent gesture. He also admits he's a big fan of #ThalapathyVijay. Genuine appreciation for the brilliant trailer. Expecting #ThalapathyVijay and SRK in a film together."

Another person tweeted, "#BeastMovie ab hogee (will be now) super duper aadhbut (amazing) smash hit. In short, king has given a hint for #Lion. Can't wait for #Lion announcement." "This combo SRK-ATLEE will smash records," said another person. "If it was dropped then why srk is sitting atlee..This tweet is indirectly saying film with Atlee is pretty much on," said a fan.

"I thought it's an announcement," wrote a fan. "It is a hint btw. I can imagine Atlee smiling while reading SRK tweet. He is a so humble and amazing person," said a fan.

Last year, pictures of Shah Rukh shooting in Pune hinted that he was working for Atlee's film. As per reports, the film is titled Lion.

It has been speculated that Vijay might make a cameo appearance in Atlee’s film with SRK, given the actor has collaborated with the director on Bigil and Mersal.

Recently, Shah Rukh Khan returned from Spain after wrapping a schedule of Pathaan. The film also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The Siddharth Anand directorial marks SRK’s return to the silver screen after the 2018 film Zero.
