On August 8, at the trailer launch event for Geetu Mohandas' gangster drama Toxic in Bangalore, actor Yash opened up about the film, the dedication of the team that worked alongside him on this massive project, and the people who brought Toxic to life.
"I believe in one thing, now it is no more Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, this is an Indian film," the actor remarked, creating a strong impression not only about the film but also feeding into the pressing conversation about Indian cinema being boxed into regional categories.
Met with a loud applause from the audience, he added, "This is the right example to see talented people from their respective industry. This movie is not Yash's film, this is an Indian film."
The actor went on to make a bold statement: "Every actor is selfish. That's the fact," he says. According to him, everyone wants to be the best at what they're doing, and that there are countless moments where, as an actor, one might feel uncomfortable and possibly even insecure working alongside such a huge cast.
But, this is exactly why Toxic hits different, he pointed out. "This film has happened because all these lovely, talented and successful people have kept their egos aside."
"They have just come with one cause: to put an Indian film on a global platform."
