Yash defends Toxic’s adult content: ‘Not a gimmick, done to raise meaningful questions’

The upcoming gangster film Toxic, helmed by director Geetu Mohandas and starring Yash, is set to release in a week. Yash, who last appeared in KGF: Chapter 2, has been addressing the controversies surrounding the film. Fans are excited, but discussions have shifted towards concerns about the sexualisation of women and intimate scenes.

Yash clarified that Toxic is intended for an adult audience, emphasizing the film's tagline, "fairytale for grown-ups." He believes art should question the deepest corners of human minds, urging viewers to confront dilemmas. Yash reiterated that the film is strictly for grown-ups and not for children. He also defended the director, a woman, who sees women's desires and fantasies as their rights.

Yash acknowledged his nervousness about intimate scenes, including his recent collaboration with Kiara Advani in the song "Tabaahi," but emphasized that the scenes show love between the characters. The film, featuring Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth, is scheduled to release on August 26.
