Director Geetu Mohandas has responded to criticism over the teaser for her upcoming film 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups,' starring Yash. The teaser, which features Yash's character in an intimate scene amidst violence, sparked debate on social media, with some accusing the film of objectifying women and perpetuating misogynistic tropes. Mohandas, alongside collaborator Rima Kallingal, posted a message stating, "Chilling while people figure out female pleasure, consent, women playing systems, etc., etc.," interpreted as a defense of the film's exploration of complex themes. Supporters defend the director's artistic freedom, while others, like Ram Gopal Varma, praise her bold choices.
