Toxic Film Reignites 'Kasaba' Controversy

Actor-director Roopesh Peethambaran has brought the controversy surrounding Mammootty's 2016 film 'Kasaba' back into public discussion. He recently shared a scene from 'Kasaba' on social media, directly addressing filmmaker Geetu Mohandas. Peethambaran questioned Mohandas's earlier critical stance on the scene, asking if it still appeared 'toxic' to her, or if the new film 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups' was the true source of toxicity.

Peethambaran also addressed Mammootty, suggesting that younger audiences may not be aware of his extensive filmography. The 2016 film 'Kasaba' faced significant criticism for a scene involving Mammootty and a female police officer, a point previously highlighted by Geetu Mohandas and actress Parvathy Thiruvothu.

Separately, Geetu Mohandas was recently seen in an emotional interaction with a fan at a screening of her latest film, 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups', in Bengaluru. The action thriller, starring Yash, premiered on August 26 and has achieved a worldwide collection of Rs 190.75 crore after its first two days.
