A behind-the-scenes video from the set of Yash's upcoming film, "Toxic," has recently surfaced online, creating a buzz among fans. The clip, which features Yash and reportedly Nayanthara, has gone viral, eliciting various reactions, with some drawing comparisons to the movie "Bombay Velvet".

The leaked video shows Yash shirtless on a balcony, casually smoking while wearing jeans. This glimpse of Yash in a relaxed, yet stylish avatar, has ignited excitement among his fans, who are eagerly anticipating his return to the big screen after the blockbuster success of "KGF: Chapter 2". Some fans have expressed their admiration for his "swag" and overall look.

"Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups" is directed by Geetu Mohandas and features a star-studded cast, including Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, Akshay Oberoi, and Sudev Nair. Kiara Advani has reportedly already completed her portions of the film. The movie is produced by Yash himself.

The film is described as a period gangster drama and is slated to release on March 19, 2026, coinciding with Eid and Ugadi. It is expected to be released in multiple languages, including Kannada, English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

The viral video has not only increased anticipation for "Toxic" but has also sparked discussions and comparisons. Some fans have pointed out similarities in the visual style or atmosphere to Anurag Kashyap's "Bombay Velvet," a film known for its distinctive aesthetic.

Adding to the buzz surrounding "Toxic," director Ram Gopal Varma has seemingly taken a dig at the film. This was in light of the movie's release date clashing with "Dhurandhar 2", which led Varma to imply that "Dhurandhar 2's" bite will be toxic.

Besides "Toxic," Yash is also slated to play Raavan in Nitesh Tiwari's two-part mythological drama, "Ramayana". The first part of "Ramayana" is expected to release on Diwali 2026.
