The trailer launch was attended by Toxic’s five leading ladies — Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Huma Qureshi. With its ambitious scale and multilingual release, the film is already positioning itself as one of the major Indian theatrical releases of the year.
Yash Draws A Bigger Picture For Toxic
Although Toxic has been filmed in Kannada and English, the movie is set to reach audiences across the country in Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil. At the trailer launch, Yash made it clear that he does not view the project through the narrow lens of a regional film.
Speaking about the collaborative nature of Toxic and its larger ambition, the KGF star credited the film’s journey to the coming together of talent from different corners of Indian cinema.
The actor said, “It’s no more Kannada or Tamil film. This is an Indian film. This is a right example to see talented people from their respective industries. They are doing really great. Toxic is not Yash’s film. This is an Indian film. Toxic happened only because these talented people came together without any egos and made this film. Every actor is selfish. That is the fact. The successful people kept their egos aside to put an Indian film on the global platform. This has been shot in Kannada and English.”

Yash Reveals The Scale Of Toxic’s Making
For Yash, the film’s ambitious vision came with its own set of challenges. From coordinating a packed cast to handling the technical demands of a large-scale production, putting Toxic together required an extraordinary level of commitment.
Describing the filmmaking process, Yash compared it to entering a battlefield. He also acknowledged the contribution of the entire team and expressed gratitude towards the actors who managed to accommodate the film despite their demanding schedules.
Yash said, “It’s not easy for filmmakers, actors and producers to make such a film. Making a film is like going for a war. There will be so many issues while making a film, right from maintaining the schedule of the actors to managing other technical aspects. My partner-producer never questioned. We have shot for 200 days. Despite their busy schedules, these wonderful actors dedicated their time to Toxic.”
Yash Credits Producer Venkat K Narayana For Backing The Vision
Toxic is jointly produced by Venkat K Narayana under KVN Productions. Yash reserved special praise for the producer, highlighting his willingness to invest in the film without compromising its scale or creative ambitions.
According to Yash, Narayana’s unwavering backing played a crucial role in turning the filmmakers’ vision into reality.
“Venkat K Narayana did everything possible to make this happen. He didn’t question and contributed his money to make something spectacular for the audience. I promise to all my co-artists that you will be experiencing love of the fans differently after Toxic’s release. Kudos to all the ladies of Toxic,” the actor added.
