# Kannada actor Risheekaa Ssingh slams Yash’s Toxic trailer 2026-08-14T07:57:02+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Kannada actor Risheekaa Ssingh criticised the trailer of Yash's upcoming film Toxic, questioning its portrayal of women and a scene showing the star partially nude. In Instagram videos, she told Yash: 'Why did you have to drop your pants like that you absolute monkey? Show women some proper respect or we will surely kick you out of Karnataka.' She also asked why Kiara Advani was brought from Bollywood 'to be portrayed in such a manner,' referring to a dialogue where a woman is asked her 'rate'. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic is a gangster drama featuring Yash in a dual role, with Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, Nayanthara and Tara Sutaria. The Times of India reports Mohandas had earlier addressed similar reactions to the teaser, writing on Instagram: 'Chilling while people figure out female pleasure, consent, women playing systems.' Yash's fans hit back at Ssingh, with one noting the director is a woman and another asking where her concern was during the film Animal. Toxic is scheduled for release on August 26. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Geetu Mohandas, Kannada cinema, Kiara Advani, Risheekaa Singh, Toxic trailer, Yash Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/kannada-actor-risheekaa-singh-slams-yash-threatens-to-oust-him-from-karnataka/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
