A Pan-Indian Project
Toxic – A Fairy Tale For Grown-ups is set to be a pan-Indian film, aiming to reach audiences nationwide. Venkat K Narayana is producing the film under the banners of two Bangalore-based production houses: KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. Reflecting its wide appeal, the movie will be shot in multiple Indian languages, catering to Yash's massive fan base and ensuring its accessibility to a diverse audience.
While details about the storyline are being kept under wraps, Geetu Mohandas has offered some insights into the film's themes. The director has described the film as a gangster saga, a narrative that requires a dynamic and intense personality like Yash to bring it to life. Mohandas, known for her internationally acclaimed films "Liar's Dice" and "Moothon," has emphasized that she follows where the story demands. In her words, this particular story needed a "badass gangster narrative" that is both thought-provoking and familiar to the audience.
