Yash’s Toxic has been getting mixed reactions since its release, but the actor is finding support from within the Kannada film industry. After several prominent names backed the film, veteran actress Sumalatha has now shared a strong message for Yash.
Sumalatha watched Toxic and praised Yash’s performance, saying that what stood out to her most was the way he had evolved as an actor. She also described the film as a visual spectacle and called it an important milestone for Yash and director Geetu Mohandas.
What makes her message interesting is the way she addressed the criticism around the film. Sumalatha told Yash not to be bothered by the negative talk and suggested that Toxic could simply be ahead of its time. She also wondered whether some parts of the film had been misunderstood or unfairly judged.
Sumalatha clearly believes the current response should not affect Yash. She expressed confidence that he would come back stronger and congratulated him for taking the risk and choosing a different path.
Toxic opened strongly at the box office but has faced weaker word of mouth in the following days. At a time when the film is under discussion for all the wrong reasons, Sumalatha’s public support gives Yash something positive to take from the situation.
The bigger question now is whether Toxic will eventually find more appreciation among audiences after the initial reaction settles down.
