Speculations that Kannada superstar Yash's highly anticipated film Toxic has been shelved have caused a stir among his fans. However, insiders from the film industry have dispelled these rumours, affirming that the project is proceeding as planned. According to reliable sources, the cast and crew are simply on a scheduled break, and there is no truth to reports suggesting the film’s production has been halted.
Fans of Yash, who have eagerly awaited his return to the big screen since KGF: Chapter 2, were concerned by the swirling rumours. But recent updates from the sets of Toxic have provided reassurance. Just last week, several cast members shared photos and behind-the-scenes updates, calming speculations. Veteran Telugu actor Tanikella Bharani, who plays a pivotal role in the film, even posted a picture with Yash on Instagram, further confirming that work is ongoing.
Adding to the evidence, British actor Benedict Garrett recently responded to a fan on social media, confirming his involvement in an upcoming project with Yash. This only reinforces that the production of Toxic is well underway, and any rumours about shelving the film are completely baseless.
Yash’s fans have been waiting for more than two years to see him on screen again, especially after the monumental success of KGF 2. Surprisingly, Yash took his time to choose his next project, despite widespread interest from major producers and directors across India. In an unexpected move, he decided to collaborate with filmmaker Geetu Mohandas, known for her work on small-budget, independent films.
Toxic marks a significant departure for both Yash and Geetu Mohandas. This project will be her first large-scale production, a major leap from her usual filmmaking style. Yash’s decision to work with Geetu has been seen as a bold and thoughtful choice, allowing him to step away from the action-heavy roles he’s known for. Toxic is rumoured to be a gangster drama told from a female perspective, showcasing Yash in a different light and expanding his range as an actor.
