The KGF actor said the affection shown towards Vijay and the support given to Jana Nayagan demonstrated the strong connection between Tamil audiences and their favourite stars. He expressed confidence that viewers would extend similar love to Toxic.
Yash Thanks the Audience
During his speech, Yash credited audiences for transforming performers like him from ordinary individuals into celebrated stars. He said entertaining viewers remains the responsibility of filmmakers and actors and expressed hope that Toxic would live up to audience expectations.
The actor also looked forward to receiving the same kind of support that Tamil audiences gave to KGF.
Geetu Mohandas Reveals Inspiration Behind Toxic
Director Geetu Mohandas also spoke about the film and its creative approach. She revealed that she drew inspiration from commercial action entertainers, including Rajinikanth’s Padayappa, while developing Toxic.
The filmmaker explained that the movie incorporates certain commercial elements inspired by such popular action films while presenting them through her own filmmaking style.
With Yash leading the cast and a strong lineup of female actors supporting him, Toxic is positioned as a major pan-India release. The film will reach audiences across Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi markets, making its worldwide theatrical debut on Wednesday.
