What was once pitched as Indian cinema’s biggest gangster saga is now shaping up to be its most expensive warning story. Toxic, directed on paper by Geetu Mohandas and starring Yash, has exploded into a ₹600 crore project and that is not even counting Yash’s massive fee. Yet, after nearly two years, less than 60% of the film is complete.
Behind the glossy posters lies pure chaos: endless reshoots, cancelled schedules, casting shake-ups, and a crew left hanging. Insiders whisper that Yash, not Geetu, is calling the shots, ghost-directing large chunks of the movie. His lack of faith in Geetu has reportedly led to clashes that have stalled progress.
For Yash, the pressure is huge. After KGF 2 turned him into a national star, Toxic was meant to secure his legacy. Instead, he seems trapped in paranoia, micromanaging every detail and slowing the film down. His biggest fear is that one flop will reveal his fame as built only on KGF.
Yash seems to be eyeing a path similar to Prabhas. Just like Prabhas’s stardom went pan-India after Baahubali, KGF 2 was Yash’s Baahubali. Now, his next film is crucial to protect his reputation in the pan-india space.
Adding to the confusion, Yash has signed two more films where he will not even play the lead, instead appearing in supporting roles in Ramayana and another big project. For fans who once hailed him as the face of Indian mass cinema, this sudden retreat looks like damage control in case Toxic collapses.
Right now, Toxic is the talk of the industry but not in a good way. With its bloated budget, endless delays, and a leading man who looks more insecure than unstoppable, the film risks living up to its name: toxic for everyone involved.
