Excitement brews in the cinema realm as the buzz around Yash‘s latest project, “Toxic,” intensifies with the speculated entry of Bollywood’s celebrated icon Kareena Kapoor. The anticipated film, marked as Yash’s 19th venture, garnered significant attention following its title reveal in December, with recent murmurs suggesting Kareena’s maiden foray into Kannada cinema.
Amidst veiled details surrounding the film, reports from Filmfare hint at an imminent announcement by director Geetu Mohandas and Yash, officially welcoming Kareena Kapoor into the ensemble cast. Sources suggest that filming is poised to commence in a matter of weeks, amplifying the anticipation surrounding this collaboration.
This prospect isn’t unfamiliar terrain for Yash, having previously shared the screen with Bollywood luminaries Raveena Tandon and Sanjay Dutt in the highly acclaimed “KGF 2” released in 2022.
The sneak peek into “Toxic” unveiled Yash’s intriguing character portrayal through a captivating video. A mosaic of anti-heroes, including the infamous Joker from DC Comics, sets the tone for the movie. Building suspense, the video gradually introduces Yash’s character, characterized by a pot belly, a vintage hat, and an imposing stance armed with a machine gun and a cigar. The tantalizing glimpse concludes with the film’s title, promising audiences “A fairytale for grown-ups.”
The film, under KVN Productions led by producer Venkat K Narayana, initially linked Sai Pallavi and Raashii Khanna to the project before Kareena Kapoor’s name surfaced, heightening curiosity around the casting dynamics.
Yash’s meteoric rise to pan-Indian stardom commenced with the 2018 blockbuster “KGF,” and the subsequent success of “KGF 2” in 2022, crossing the coveted Rs 1,000 crore milestone in worldwide box office collections, solidified his stature as a formidable star in the industry.
