Karnataka Film Chamber president defends Yash's Toxic, says film should not be judged on the basis of teaser alone
YAsh tree’s upcoming litigate take, Toxic, has landed in several controversies even out before its resign. The teaser of the film received mixed reviews. After the Women’s Commission slammed its teaser for the depiction of a sex scene, a Christian group has filed a complaint with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and others, claiming that the teaser hurts religious sentiments. Now, Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce president Dr Jayamala has commented on the row and said that the public must not rush to conclusions on the basis of a teaser alone.

A teaser is just a glimpse meant to attract audiences to theatres. Discussing the film before it has been reviewed by the censor board is premature. Filmmakers invest hundreds of crores into their work, and viewers should see the full film before forming an opinion.”She went on to add that the producers of the film have denied allegations of disrespectful or obscene content. She reiterated that the film is yet to be reviewed and certified ahead of the release, so the complaints will be addressed through a due regulatory process. About the teaserThe controversy erupted after the teaser showed a sex scene in a car parked outside a cemetery, followed by a violent gunfight in the cemetery. The said premises house several religious iconographies, including a statue of Archangel Michael. The National Christian Federation lodged a formal complaint to the Film Chamber of Commerce, as well as to the state government's Chief Secretary, Home Secretary, and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) against Toxic. A complaint was also filed against the makers for outraging the modesty of women with the sequence.Directed by Geethu Mohandas, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups also stars Rukmini Vasanth, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, Akshay Oberoi and Sudev Nair in key roles. Yash and Geetu co-wrote the film. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on March 19, and will clash with Ranveer Singh’s much anticipated Dhurandhar 2.
