The timing could not have been more apt. With Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups already dominating conversations following the powerful unveiling of its actresses and their characters, anticipation around Yash’s next cinematic chapter has reached a fever pitch. While audiences have caught striking glimpses of his look from Toxic, the character itself remains shrouded in mystery, fuelling intense speculation. Whether the much-awaited reveal will drop on his birthday remains to be seen. Mounted on a massive scale, Toxic promises an intoxicating world, a period setting packed with intensity, and a protagonist whose moral complexity is still waiting to be unveiled.
