Eight months after KVN Productions officially announced the title and director of Rocking Star Yash’s highly anticipated 19th film, production has finally commenced. After months of rigorous examination and speculation, it appears that the wait is over. Yash shared a photograph on social media alongside the banner’s founder, Venkat K Narayana, captioning, “The journey begins #Toxic.”
Yash’s recent visit to Dharmasthala with his family and Venkat sparked speculation regarding an impending announcement, suggesting that the team is prepared to begin filming. This was later corroborated by industry expert Taran Adarsh, who emphasized the significance of the number 8 for Yash. Consequently, while the actor’s post this morning was anticipated, it received an outpouring of affection from fans. Many are now inquiring whether they will witness further developments in this journey. Attention is now focused on the actor’s social media accounts and the production banner. Following the remarkable success of KGF: Chapter 2, Yash’s next collaboration has been a topic of great interest among fans and industry insiders alike. Various filmmakers have been speculated, but one name that frequently emerged was that of Geethu Mohandas, a renowned director from the Malayalam film industry, known for her recent work on Moothon featuring Nivin Pauly. This collaboration and the film’s title, Toxic, were officially confirmed in December of the previous year. However, there has been a notable lack of updates from the entire production team since that announcement, despite ongoing speculation regarding the film’s casting. Enthusiastic netizens have been monitoring the official IMDB page for Toxic and closely observing Yash’s social media accounts for any significant new followers. Any individual with even a slight connection to the film industry who began following Yash or Geethu around the time of the December 8 announcement has been considered a potential cast member of Toxic.
Reports indicate that Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, and Huma Qureshi are expected to be key cast members. Shruthi Haasan, who performed the title announcement track, is also believed to be involved. Additionally, Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas is rumored to portray one of the antagonists in “Toxic,” a period film centered around the drug mafia.
