Actress slams Yash's 'Toxic' trailer over intimacy

Kannada actor Risheekaa Singh recently sparked a significant social media controversy by vocally criticizing the trailer for Yash's highly anticipated film, 'Toxic.' Singh voiced her disappointment regarding the romantic and intimate scenes depicted in the trailer.

She addressed Yash directly, urging him to demonstrate greater respect for women, particularly given his role as a husband and father. Singh's comments escalated when she stated, "If women are not respected, we will make you vacate Karnataka."

Her video quickly went viral, eliciting sharp reactions from Yash's fanbase. Many questioned her objections to fictional scenes involving consenting adults, while others pointed to positive comments from the film's female cast about their experiences. Some social media users also resurfaced clips from Singh's past work to challenge her criticism.

Risheekaa Singh is known for her roles in films like 'Kalla Malla Sulla' and was a contestant on 'Bigg Boss Kannada.' She is the daughter of filmmaker Rajendra Singh Babu.

The debate unfolds as 'Toxic,' directed by Geetu Mohandas, garners considerable attention for its scale and visuals. The film, shot in multiple languages including English, is set for a multilingual release on August 26.
