Mohandas said she admires Vasanth’s ‘intelligence as an actor’. “She doesn’t just perform, she processes. She asks questions not out of doubt but out of curiosity. It pushes me to think deeper. She is constantly building her own inner world. I find her approach incredibly thoughtful,” the filmmaker said.
‘Toxic’ is also the first film in India to be simultaneously shot in English and Kannada. The Kannada movie marks Yash’s first project since the release of the ‘KGF: Chapter 2’ (2022) in the superhit franchise.
