Toxic controversy

Social activist Dinesh Kallahalli has filed a formal complaint with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), objecting to the "obscene, sexually explicit and morally offensive scenes" in the teaser. According to the complaint document addressed to CBFC chairperson Prasoon Joshi, the teaser of 'Toxic' contains "scenes that are grossly obscene, sexually explicit, and vulgar in nature.

"The said trailer is being widely circulated on various social media platforms without any effective restriction, thereby exposing the general public, including minors and young persons, to content that is legally impermissible and socially harmful," he said.

In view of the stated grievances, the complainant urged the CBFC to review the trailer, take necessary steps, including removing the aforementioned scenes, and restrict its circulation. He also sought appropriate legal and regulatory action against the director, producers, and responsible parties associated with the film Toxic. "The present representation deserves urgent consideration, as the issue involved concerns public morality, protection of minors, and the rule of law," the complaint added.

Similarly, the leaders of the women’s wing of the AAP’s Karnataka unit submitted a formal complaint in the matter to the Karnataka State Commission for Women (KSWC), seeking appropriate action, including the removal of the teaser.

After receiving the complaint, the KSWC wrote to the CBFC. AAP state secretary Usha Mohan, in the letter, claimed, "The obscene and explicit content in the teaser of this movie is causing serious harm to the social well-being of women and children. These scenes, released in the public domain without any age-related warning, degrade the dignity of women and insult Kannada culture."
