What Yash Said
Speaking at the event, Yash reflected on ignoring naysayers, saying that when someone tells him he can’t do something, he sees only their lack of imagination. He didn’t stop there — he declared that every Kannadiga would walk out of the theatre with their head held high after watching Toxic, a statement that’s already got fans buzzing ahead of the August 26 release.
Why Nayanthara Made an Exception
Nayanthara has a reputation for steering clear of promotional circuits, and she didn’t shy away from admitting it. She explained that she isn’t particularly comfortable at such events, which is usually why she avoids them — but this one felt different. Her reasoning?A simple call from Yash was all it took to convince her to attend, underlining just how much weight his word carries even among his co-stars.
