Yash launched the trailer of ‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups’ in Bengaluru on August 8, calling it an Indian film rather than just a Kannada one. The actor said the film was shot over 200 days and brought together stars from multiple industries who kept egos aside. He also dismissed persistent rumours that the project had been shelved, calling them baseless. Nayanthara, who rarely attends promotional events, said she made an exception for Yash. She praised him as the most hardworking actor she has worked with. The film, directed by Geetu Mohandas, releases on August 26.
