It is worth noting that we had already mentioned in one of our earlier reports that Beatriz’s Instagram account was private.

Identity of the Actress Clarified by Geetu Mohandas

Following the teaser’s release, curiosity surged over the identity of the woman featured in the scene. Early reports mistakenly identified her as actor Natalie Burn. However, director Geetu Mohandas later clarified the confusion on Instagram by introducing Beatriz Taufenbach. Sharing her photo, Geetu wrote, “This beauty is my cemetery girl Beatriz Taufenbach.”

Complaints Filed Over Alleged Obscene Content

The teaser has come under official scrutiny after leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Women’s Wing lodged a complaint with the Karnataka State Commission for Women (KSWC). The party objected to what it described as obscene and explicit visuals and urged authorities to remove the teaser from public platforms. AAP state secretary Usha Mohan stated in the letter, “The obscene and explicit content in the teaser of this movie is causing serious harm to the social well-being of women and children. These scenes, released in the public domain without any age-related warning, degrade the dignity of women and insult Kannada culture.” Following the complaint, the KSWC wrote to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) seeking “appropriate action.” Yash’s ‘Toxic’ Faces Obscenity Row As Karnataka Women’s Commission Seeks CBFC Action Over Teaser, AAP Women’s Wing Files Complaint.
