Thalapathy Vijay's Beast is one of the most expected films of this year and it is going to be the next big release in Tamil cinema, following Valimai and Etharkkum Thunindhavan. The film is slated for release on April 13, but the makers are yet to make the official announcement. Beast couldn't have asked for a better start in terms of promotions and social media buzz, as the first single from the movie, 'Arabic Kuthu' turned out to be a phenomenal success, garnering worldwide attention. The song became an instant rage among the fans and music lovers and the fun vibe of the song has attracted a lot of people already.

'Arabic Kuthu', which holds the credit for various records, has created one more record and it is the first time of sorts for a Vijay starrer. Yes! 'Arabic Kuthu' has crossed 200 million views on YouTube and it is the first-ever Vijay song to cross these huge numbers even before the release of a film. Touching 200 million views before the release of a film has not happened before for a Vijay film and Beast has become the first movie to get that special credit. Also, 'Arabic Kuthu' is the fastest south Indian song to cross the 200 million views, defeating 'Rowdy Baby'. Living up to its promoted tagline of being a 'pan-world song', 'Arabic Kuthu' will be a special number in Vijay's career.

Rockstar Anirudh Ravichander deserves all the appreciation for making 'Arabic Kuthu' what it is now. Understanding the pulse of the audience, Anirudh has never disappointed the masses and has constantly churned out numbers that strike a chord. Sivakarthikeyan's gibberish lyrics and the energetic rendition from Anirudh and Jonita Gandhi were added bonuses to the song. We can expect Thalapathy Vijay to set the screens on fire with his spectacular dance moves for the video song of 'Arabic Kuthu'. Meanwhile, the second single from Beast, 'Jolly O Gymkhana' has also become an instant chartbuster hit.
