About ‘Toxic’

‘Toxic’, the Kannada movie, marks Yash’s first project since 2022 ‘KGF: Chapter 2’ (2022), the actor’s superhit franchise.

Geetu Mohandas, who co-wrote the film with Yash, has called it a story that defies convention and is sure to provoke the “chaos within us.”

Praising Yash’s “mysterious” yet “meticulous” process, Mohandas said with the release of the first peek of the film, the makers are also celebrating Yash – “a man the nation reveres for his vision and swagger”.

Calling it a “privilege and a thrill” to have co-written the movie alongside Yash, the Toxic co-writer said the star “the extraordinary where others see the ordinary”.

Talking about the upcoming film, Mohandas said, “We hope to bring an experience woven to ignite something primal in all of us- a film not just to be watched, but to be felt.”

She also praised Yash’s “process of quiet reverence” and said, “He taught me that the journey of creation is sacred.” “To him, nothing is certain except the thrill of the journey ahead.”

“These words are not just spoken from a director about her actor and not just for his ardent admirers, but for anyone seeking to understand his unwavering passion for cinema and boundless spirit of creativity. Happy birthday to our Monster mind!” she said.

Yash is also credited as a producer on the film alongside Venkat K Narayana.

Yash’s Birthday request

Before New Year, Yash penned a note requesting his fans not to display any “grand gestures and gatherings” to make him feel special as there have been some “unfortunate incidents” in the past.

The celebrated actor further said his “greatest gift” is knowing their fans are safe.

For the unversed, three of Yash’s fans lost their lives while erecting a large cutout of the star on his last birthday. At that time, Yash stood in solidarity with the bereaved families and extended all necessary help.
