The KGF franchise, with its massive success, is a tough act to follow. But Kannada actor Yash is hoping to up the game with his next, Toxic, which is being designed as an action spectacle. Director Geetu Mohandas kicked off the latest schedule in Mumbai on July 21 with the leading man, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Akshay Oberoi. The three-week schedule is focused on a singular aspect — the action sequences. A source said, “Last Monday, the new schedule kicked off in Film City, Goregaon. It will be largely indoors, where the actors will perform their stunts without the help of body doubles. It includes many sequences that involve hand-to-hand combat.”

Given the demand of the story, the actors underwent intense training before reporting to the set. The source added, “A team of 15 experts has been put together for safety and execution. They are helping the actors with close-cut scenes. The action in Toxic is raw, brutal, and grounded. In the hand-to-hand combat sequences, action directors JJ Perry and Giorgi Iarajuli have blended elements of Krav Maga, Filipino Kali, and MMA techniques to create a gritty style of action.”
