Yash’s Toxic Gets Big Praise From Upendra, Sudeepa and Rishab Shetty
Stars and artists including Upendra, Kichcha Sudeepa, Rishab Shetty, Rakshita Prem, Ashika Rangnath, Sanvi Sudeep and singer Vijay Prakash have praised the film for its different story, grand scale and Yash’s performance.
Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has received strong appreciation from several popular names in Kannada cinema. Stars and artists including Upendra, Kichcha Sudeepa, Rishab Shetty, Rakshita Prem, Ashika Rangnath, Sanvi Sudeep and singer Vijay Prakash have praised the film for its different story, grand scale and Yash’s performance.
The biggest point in these reactions is Yash’s decision to move away from the image he created with the KGF films. After the huge success of KGF: Chapter 2, many expected Yash to choose another commercial action film. Instead, he decided to experiment with a darker and more complicated character in Toxic.
Veteran actor Upendra praised the movie for creating a completely different world. He appreciated the hard work of the actors and technicians and congratulated Yash and the entire team.
Kichcha Sudeepa also highlighted Yash’s courage. He said that Yash did not choose the easy and predictable path after KGF. According to Sudeepa, Toxic is an unusual attempt with several interesting portions that can lead to discussions and different opinions. He especially praised Yash for having the confidence to experiment.
Kantara star Rishab Shetty also stood behind Yash’s attempt. He said the film may not follow the normal path taken by mainstream movies, but that does not mean the approach is wrong. He praised Yash for completely becoming the character and delivering a larger-than-life performance. Rishab also appreciated the film’s attempt to explore guilt and its effect on a person.
Rakshita Prem expressed her happiness over Yash’s growth as an actor. She said his transformation makes Kannada cinema proud and encouraged audiences to watch the film.
Sanvi Sudeep strongly praised Yash’s performance, calling it one that stays in the minds of viewers even after the movie ends. Ashika Rangnath also looked at the emotional side of the film, particularly its themes of guilt, trauma and regret.
Singer Vijay Prakash described Toxic as pure cinema driven by performances and human emotions, set against a gang-war backdrop.
These reactions show that many Kannada film personalities appreciate the ambition behind Toxic. The film is not simply trying to repeat Yash’s earlier success. It is attempting to show him in a completely different way.
The movie, directed by Geetu Mohandas, stars Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Huma Qureshi. Produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic is currently running in cinemas worldwide.
