Yash starrer Toxic shoot commences in Bengaluru with 1000-member crew; elaborate set recreated to reflect the 1940s: Report

Yash has embarked on his latest venture, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, which is a period drama. The film, helmed by acclaimed director Geetu Mohandas, is set against the backdrop of the 1940s and boasts a star-studded cast. Yash leads the ensemble cast, playing the enigmatic protagonist whose life intersects with several intriguing female characters. Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria, and Huma Qureshi have been roped in to portray diverse roles.

As per a report in Mid-Day, the production is a massive undertaking, with a sprawling 20-acre set constructed on the outskirts of Bengaluru. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the authentic recreation of the era. Every element has been carefully crafted from the costumes to the props to transport viewers back in time. Nayanthara is said to be the leading man’s on-screen sister, while Advani takes on the part of his love interest. A source told the publication, “The production design team has created a world authentic to the 1940s. The team has been working at a breakneck pace. While Geetu has shot many crucial portions featuring Yash, she has also canned some scenes with Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria and Huma Qureshi.”

The production team has assembled a crew of over 1000 members to bring the director’s vision to life. Additionally, 450 actors have been hired to populate the world of the film, with 300 foreign support actors joining the cast for a pivotal sequence. Another source said, “Geetu has roped in 450 actors, who are shooting intermittently in this schedule. About 300 foreign support actors have been called in for a crucial sequence. A part of the shoot was being done outdoors, and due to heavy rain, filming had to be halted many times. But the cast and crew are fully committed and have been putting in multiple all-night shoots.”

Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups will delve into the dark and dangerous world of the drug mafia, specifically focusing on its reign from the 1950s to the 1970s. Reports suggest Yash will portray a stylish gangster, a stark contrast to his previous roles.

The project is a joint production between Yash’s own banner, Monster Mind Creations, and production house KVN Productions. While shooting began in June 2024, the team resumed filming in September. The film is currently slated for a theatrical release on April 10, 2025.
