After KGF 2, Yash became a pan India sensation and his next film Toxic was announced after 2 years. But doubts arose whether Geethu Mohandas, a relatively new director could handle a star of Yash’s magnitude.
When the teaser of Toxic was released on Yash’s birthday, it got thrashed. People called it vulgar, compared it to condom or alcohol ads and ridiculed the drug depiction.

This backlash killed the excitement and the film hasn’t generated the same hype as KGF 2 did.
To add to the woes, Toxic is also in legal trouble. Karnataka Forest Department issued a notice after it was alleged that trees were cut illegally during the shoot.

With negative public reception and legal troubles, Toxic is in trouble. The hype has died down and the release might get delayed. Fans are wondering if the film can recover from these setbacks and live up to the KGF 2 expectations.
