Yash Gets Toxic On His Birthday

KGF
Actor
Yash
turns
38
today,
January
8,
and
he
treated
fans
with
a
‘birthday
peek’
video
from
his
highly
anticipated
upcoming
film

Toxic:
A
Fairy
Tale
for
Grown-Ups.

Directed
by
Geetu
Mohandas,
the
film
is
currently
under
production.

In
the
video,
Yash
is
seen
impeccably
dressed,
making
a
grand
entrance
in
a
club
full
of
partygoers.

It’s
a
bold
and
provocative
teaser,
which
Yash
captions,
‘Unleashed.’

Director
Geetu
Mohandas
tries
to
explain
the
film
in
a
press
note:
‘Toxic:
A
Fairy
Tale
For
Grown-Ups
is
a
story
that
defies
convention
and
is
sure
to
provoke
the
chaos
within
us.
Today,
as
we
release
the
first
peek
of
our
film
we
also
celebrate
Yash,
a
man
the
nation
reveres
for
his
vision
and
swagger.

‘I
have
observed
his
brilliance
and
to
those
who
know
him
or
follow
his
journey,
his
process
is
as
mysterious
as
it
is
meticulous.
It
is
both
a
privilege
and
a
thrill
to
have
co-written
this
captivating
world
alongside
a
mind
that
sees
the
extraordinary
where
others
see
the
ordinary.

‘When
our
two
worlds
of
thought
collide,
the
result
is
neither
compromise
nor
chaos
—
it’s
the
transformation
that
happens
when
artistic
vision
meets
the
precision
of
commercial
storytelling
transcending
borders,
languages,
and
cultural
confines.’

The
film
went
on
floors
on
August
8
in
Bengaluru.

Subhash
K
Jha
reports
that
birthday
celebrations
are
strictly
a
no-no
for
Yash.
And
with
good
reason.
Some
years
ago,
a
fan
immolated
himself
in
front
of
Yash’s
home
when
he
failed
to
show
up
for
his
annual
birthday
fan

darshan.

Since
then,
Yash
avoids
all
celebrations
to
preempt
any
mishap.

About
bringing
Kannada
cinema
to
the
global
level
with
KGF,
Yash
refuses
take
credit
and
says,
“No
industry
is
small.
It
is
the
people
who
work
in
it
that
make
it
big
or
small.
We
of
the

KGF
team
thought
big,
and
why
should
we
not
have?

“I
always
knew
a

KGF
was
possible.
We
wanted
to
prove
that
we
had
the
potential
and
resources.
We
had
a
terrific
story
idea,
and
I
was
lucky
to
get
a
fantastic
director,
Prashanth
Neel,
and
a
producer,
Vijay
Kiragandur,
who
is
like
my
brother.
The
entire
team
has
worked
really
hard
to
make

KGF
special.

“I
alone
can’t
take
credit.”
