Yash about the female characters crafted by Geetu Mohandas in Toxic
Speaking with Variety India, Yash said, “A lot of men have had the opportunity to talk about the gangster world or the dark side of humans. But when somebody like Geetu, whose understanding of emotions is very deep, enters that space, every scene takes a different turn.”
The KGF star added, “We have some female characters who are truly bad*ss women who have taken responsibility for their lives and survive in any situation. There’s a different kind of violence within every human being. So when you bring those personalities into the story, especially through the female gaze, it becomes very refreshing.”
