At the Bengaluru trailer launch of Toxic on Saturday, Yash defended co-star Kiara Advani from online trolling over intimate scenes shown in the teaser and song Tabaahi. He said people did not understand the film's vision and called his team 'a little ahead of times'. Kiara plays circus performer Nadia in the film.

The trailer also drew mixed reactions online, with some calling it 'KGF on Steroid' and others criticising excessive violence and lack of plot clarity. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the pan-India action thriller releases on August 26 in multiple languages.
The 'ahead of times' defence sounds like a press statement, not an explanation. A filmmaker's job is to make their choices land, not to blame the audience for not catching up. The real test will come on August 26: will the box office prove the crowd is ready or merely prove that the marketing team knows how to play victim?
