The teaser for Yash’s upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups unveiled on the actor's birthday, has swiftly crossed the 10 million views mark. The short tease has been receiving acclaim from actors and filmmakers across different industries. This preview, which shows Yash in a bold new role under Geetu Mohandas’ direction, quickly garnered millions of views just hours after its release.
Kichcha Sudeep was one of the first to respond. He praised Yash for taking a creative risk. “Swimming against the current always takes more courage. This new step you’ve taken should bring you closer to your goal. May you continue on the path of success,” Sudeep wrote in a widely shared social media post.
Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for his intense storytelling, expressed that he was “blown away” by the teaser. “Style, attitude, and mass energy, it’s packed perfectly. Birthday wishes to Yash,” he posted.
Veteran director Ram Gopal Varma highlighted Geetu Mohandas, praising her vision. “After seeing Yash’s look and the teaser of Toxic, I believe that Geetu Mohandas represents true women’s empowerment.
