  "account": "Yash, the lead actor of the upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, halted his speech during a pre-release event at Malla Reddy University in Hyderabad on Saturday evening when a massive sound box collapsed onto the audience. Two students were injured, with one losing consciousness at the scene. Yash, immediately aware of the situation, stopped his address and directed event organizers and security to assist the injured. After ensuring their safety, he urged the excited audience to descend from the structures they had climbed to get a better view. He repeatedly checked with the crowd, asking if everyone was okay and safe before resuming his speech. Despite the incident, the event proceeded without further disruptions and concluded as scheduled. Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is set to release worldwide on August 26, 2026, in multiple languages.",
