Yash in Toxic teaser
The teaser of Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown Ups has sparked a lot of discussion on the internet. However, one particular scene that divided the internet was the one where Yash makes out with a woman inside a car before gunning down several men. The scene has now landed the film in trouble after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) lodged a complaint with the Karnataka State Commission for Women (KSWC) on Monday, raising objections to alleged obscene scenes.
Women's commission complains to CBFC
According to PTI, the leaders of the women’s wing of the AAP’s Karnataka unit met officials of the state women’s commission and submitted a formal complaint in the matter. They sought appropriate action, including the removal of the teaser.
After receiving the complaint, the KSWC reportedly wrote to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) seeking "appropriate action." 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."
Noting the "adverse impact on society, particularly on minors," they have asked the commission to intervene and direct the state government authorities to ban the teaser and remove it from social media platforms.
The letter further stated, “On behalf of the women’s wing of the Aam Aadmi Party, we urge the women’s commission to treat the matter seriously and take immediate action to uphold the cultural and moral values of the state," the letter added.
Citing the petition filed by Mohan, the commission’s secretary, in a letter to the CBFC, said, "It is hereby requested to take further action on the subject mentioned in the petition after verifying it as per rules and to submit an action-taken report in this regard."
