Taking to X, Rishab Shetty shared a detailed note about Toxic, praising Yash’s dedication to the role and the unconventional world created by the film. ‘Toxic’ Movie Review: His Aura Hits You! Yash’s Stylish Gangster Drama and Psychological Thriller Delivers the Goods.

Rishab Shetty wrote:

“As an artist, when you play a character, you try to bring it to life from the bottom of your heart. And here, I am truly impressed by the conviction with which the struggle of a powerful man has been portrayed. Maybe the plot and driving characters are not on the usual track on which most films travel, but that doesn’t mean the track is wrong. The effort that goes into telling a story, and the journey it takes from being a thought in the mind to becoming a film on screen, is humongous.

@TheNameIsYash sir, hats off to the way you have surrendered yourself to a character and a world that demands a larger-than-life performance. I could clearly feel that in every single scene.

It’s not easy to give the audience an experience of how guilt multiplies and increases the toxicity in life. I stand with you for attempting this daring experiment, sir.

We love you for the love you have for taking Kannada cinema to the global stage.

Best wishes to @GeetuMohandas and @TheKVNofficial_”
