‘Toxic’: Self-belief fuels Yash’s biggest ambition

Kannada star Yash is generating significant buzz for his upcoming film 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups,' which he co-wrote and produced. Co-star Nayanthara praised Yash's commanding presence and dedication, highlighting his transition from a lead actor to a creative force behind the project.
Why it matters
The film serves as a critical test for Yash to prove his box-office viability and creative influence following the massive success of the KGF franchise.
I don’t attend promotional events because I am not very good at it. But for Toxic , I think it’s just Yash. He made a call, and it was enough for me to attend the event,” said Nayanthara when the host Danish Sait asked her why she stays away from movie promotions. The Lady Superstar was on stage moments after the trailer for Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups was launched in Bengaluru on August 08, 2026 (Saturday).
It’s natural for artistes to wax eloquent about working with their co-stars and director during a promotional event. Even if you consider this aspect, Nayanthara’s impression about Yash says something about the Kannada star’s force of personality.
