Controversy Over Yash's Toxic Teaser Sparks Complaints and CBFC Review Request

The teaser for Yash's upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, released on his 40th birthday, has sparked controversy due to explicit scenes, including an intimate moment with actress Beatriz Taufenbach. The Aam Aadmi Party's women's wing filed a complaint with the Karnataka State Women's Commission, alleging the teaser degrades women's dignity and harms social well-being, especially of minors. The commission has written to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) seeking action, though CBFC clarified the teaser, released online, does not require certification. Meanwhile, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma highlighted the upcoming box office clash between Toxic and Dhurandhar 2, emphasizing differing cinematic styles.
