Yash’s Toxic storm: Rocking Star’s old interview resurfaces amid teaser uproar, 'Won’t do scenes…' Watch

On Rocking Star Yash’s birthday last week, the makers of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups unveiled an unexpected teaser revealing his striking first look. The clip opens in a graveyard, where Yash dramatically interrupts a funeral in a car. Before his on-screen introduction as Raya, the teaser shows him seated with a woman, followed by bursts of stylised, high-voltage action.

While the visuals aimed to set the tone for a bold narrative, a section of viewers reacted strongly. The controversy escalated when the Aam Aadmi Party filed a complaint with the Karnataka State Commission for Women, objecting to what it termed an “obscene scene” in the teaser.
