Yash also praised director Geetu Mohandas for presenting a dark character in a very unique way. With the help of some of the best technicians, he has given a new take to a gangster film, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
“Apart from being a visual treat, it will also be something that will have a big impact on the psychology of the audience,” he said.
Apart from Toxic, Yash is also awaiting the release of his epic film, Ramayan Part 1, directed by Nitish Tiwari. The film also stars Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, but he will not share the screen space in it. Sharing the reason, Yash explained that since it is a two-part saga, Part 1 depicts the kingdoms of Ram (played by Ranbir) and Ravana (played by Yash).
He also called RK a “fantastic actor” with whom he has great chemistry and mutual respect. Ramayana Part 1 is expected to release theatrically around Diwali 2026.
