​1. The films are the third directorial for the directors

Nelson made his directional debut with a 2018 black comedy crime film 'Kolamaavu Kokila' starring Nayanthara in the lead role, while ‘KGF2’ director made his directional debut with 2014 ‘Ugramm’ an action thriller film starring Srimurali in the lead role.

2. Both films belong to the action genre

Both 'Beast' and 'KGF2' belong to an action genre and lots of gun violence and bloodshed. If 'Beast' is an action comedy film that revolves around a Spy’s crusade to rescue people held hostage in a shopping mall by terrorists, ‘KGF: Chapter 2’ is an action film that continues the narration of Rocky, a high ranking assassin in Mumbai, who was born in poverty. He disguises himself as a slave labourer in the Narachi limestone mine (Kolar Gold Fields) aiming to assassinate Garuda, the future heir of Kolar Gold Fields.

​Similar posters

The film’s symbolic representation of heroism looks similar in both movies. If Vijay carries a sharp edge axe in ‘Beast’ posters, dangerous Rocky carries a huge hammer in its promotional posters.
