Kichcha Sudeep has come out in support of Yash and his latest film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, amid the largely negative response the film has received from sections of the audience. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the Kannada-English gangster drama hit theatres on August 26 and has sparked considerable discussion over its unconventional storytelling and visual style.

While several viewers have criticised the film’s screenplay and narrative, Sudeep praised Yash for choosing to experiment instead of taking the conventional route expected from a star of his stature. He highlighted the courage it takes for an actor to move away from a familiar formula and attempt something different.
