If I tell you that it has been almost 1000 days since we watched KGF Part 2, you can’t believe it. KGF is not just a name but a brand. The public’s connection with the film is such that all the scenes come back to mind as soon as they hear the name. Think, when just the name is so effective, then when that face itself comes back, what record of Indian cinema will be able to stand in front of it. Rocking star Yash is an actor who does not do 10 films in a year but will do one film in 10 years and people will keep talking about him for the next 10 years. His next film, whose hype does not feel that special at the ground level because that cinema has been made keeping a different audience in mind. I want to say that just like the audience of both KGF and Pushpa is different, similarly Toxic is looking for people of different categories. Which is similar to Animal. I am just thinking that when a film like Marco with a budget of 30 crores whose lead actor and name were not known to anyone in the Nott Belt till a few weeks ago, can do such a thing with the box office that the whole of India knows about the film overnight and starts comparing it with Animal. Then what will that film not do to Indian cinema whose budget can make 10 Marcos. The entire cinema is scared of the 300 crores Toxic. Because it has been specifically said about that film that the action done by Yash in the film is something that no one had even thought of trying till date. We have seen many dreams and now the time has come to turn them into reality. We are just a few hours away from Rocky Bhai’s comeback, 8 January 2025 is the date on which the doors of Toxic will be opened for the first time, Yash himself has given an update this time. The first poster of the film has been revealed. The first good news is that Yash is going to give the biggest return gift to his fans on his birthday. The bomb will explode at 10:25 in the morning. People know very well what a Yash film’s teaser can do with social media because KGF Chapter 2 wished Yash on his birthday. It is understood that the film will be set in the retro era and that too in an international city where gangsters rule. The kind of cinema we have seen in Godfather type movies or someone must have played a mafia video game, some such things have been created in Toxic. Yash’s look looks quite dangerous, there are very few actors in Indian cinema who just stand and make a scene in the film. That level of screen presence is felt in this poster, the face has not been revealed yet but just a side pose is enough to end the career of many actors. By the way, do you know the biggest difference between KGF and Toxic. There was only one monster in KGF, Rocky. Which was put in maximum focus. Garuda was killed in just one attack and Adheera was also chased and killed. There was a little competition with Madam PM but she was also told who the real CEO is. But the story of Toxic is not that easy. Every character present in it will be like a monster Rocky. This time the fight is going to be Rocky vs Rocky. The amazing thing is that the film is definitely about the underworld. But 90% of the actors in the cast of this film are going to be female. Dangerous female characters in the world of men. Naintara is playing a senior role in the film. After that Huma Qureshi’s character is being told to be a bit crazy type. Kiara Advani can play the love interest in films, a similar role which the female character had in KGF, but I don’t know what Tara Sutaria will do in Toxic. Shruti Hassan’s name has also been associated with the film. Who can be presented as a rival criminal family against Yash. In a film industry where female actors are used only for glamour by making them Barbies, using them like Annabelle there will make Toxic a very different film. And you know, in the list of villains, the focus is on work and not on name, that is why Tono Thomas will challenge Yash. He is such an actor that if he had the support of the audience, Indian cinema would have been competing with Hollywood long ago. The second villain is Akshay Oberoi, not using his talent properly is one of the biggest stupidities of Bollywood. But the matter will not end here, in Toxic, not only Indians but also foreigners will have to face each other. Many foreign actors are also going to be a part of the film. Now it will be interesting to see whether only Yash’s first look is revealed in Toxic on 8 January or hype is created by showing all these actors together. The second important thing is that the film was supposed to release in April 2025, but the plan has been cancelled because the shooting was delayed, meaning the new release date will also come with the teaser. As far as I know, following the path of Pushpa 2, Yash will make a comeback in December at the end of the year and will write 2025 as well as 2026 in his name. So brother, tie your seat belt, there can be many kings, queens and ministers in Indian cinema but there is only one CEO and he is going to return.
