The highly anticipated film "Toxic," starring Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas, is turning into a costly cautionary tale. Initially hyped as Indian cinema's biggest gangster saga, the film's production has been plagued by issues, with only 60% of the shoot completed after two years. The budget has ballooned to a staggering ₹600 crore, excluding Yash's hefty fee. Behind the scenes, there's turmoil, with reports of endless reshoots, scrapped schedules, casting changes, and a restless crew. Rumors suggest that Yash has taken over the direction of the film, sidelining Geetu Mohandas, due to a lack of trust. This has led to clashes and slowed down the production process. The stakes are high for Yash, who became a national icon after the success of "KGF 2." "Toxic" was expected to cement his legacy, but his obsession with control has stalled momentum. There's a growing fear that if the film doesn't do well, it could impact Yash's stardom, which is heavily dependent on the success of "KGF 2." Interestingly, Yash has also signed on for two massive projects where he won't be playing the lead role. This move has sparked speculation that he's hedging his bets in case "Toxic" doesn't do well. Fans who once saw him as the torchbearer of Indian mass cinema are now wondering if he's playing it safe. With its mounting delays, spiraling budget, and anxious hero, "Toxic" is making headlines for all the wrong reasons, and the film's title seems fitting – toxic for everyone involved. Kamaal R. Khan (KRK) alleged that Yash is managing every aspect of the film, including writing and direction. He also said the budget has now reached around Rs. 600 crores. According to KRK, Toxic won’t match the massive success of K.G.F. Chapter 2.
