Toxic Trailer Controversy: Risheekaa Singh Questions Yash Over Intimate Scenes

Yash’s upcoming film Toxic has found itself at the centre of a social media debate after Kannada actor Risheekaa Singh criticised intimate portions featured in the film’s trailer.

In a video circulating online, Singh directly addressed Yash and questioned his decision to appear in scenes that she felt did not present women in the way she expected from the actor. She also invoked his role as a husband and father while explaining why the trailer made her uncomfortable.

Her remarks quickly gained attention online, particularly after she warned that she would “make you vacate Karnataka” if women were not respected. She also ended her comments by repeatedly saying, “I am Toxic.”

The statement has since become part of the wider conversation surrounding the film’s trailer.

Risheekaa Singh Says She Was Uncomfortable With the Trailer

Singh’s criticism centred on the romantic and intimate imagery shown in Toxic. According to her comments, she questioned whether such scenes were appropriate and said she expected Yash to exercise greater consideration in the portrayal of women.

Her remarks were framed as a criticism of the content shown in the trailer rather than a broader assessment of the film, which has not yet been released.

The strong wording used in her video, however, quickly turned the discussion into a social media controversy.

Yash Fans Push Back Against the Comments

Several Yash fans reacted strongly after Singh’s video began circulating.

Some social media users questioned why intimate scenes involving consenting adult performers in a fictional film were being singled out. Others argued that audiences should wait to watch the complete film before drawing conclusions based only on its trailer.

Some users also brought up comments and promotional material involving women associated with Toxic, using them to challenge Singh’s criticism.

At the same time, not everyone agreed with the response from Yash’s supporters. Some viewers backed Singh and said they were uncomfortable with the imagery presented in the trailer, particularly in relation to whether the film would appeal to family audiences.

The contrasting reactions have ensured that the discussion has extended well beyond the trailer itself.

Singh’s ‘Vacate Karnataka’ Remark Draws Particular Attention

Among Singh’s comments, her warning to Yash that “we will make you vacate Karnataka” has emerged as one of the most widely discussed portions of the video.

The remark was made in the context of her demand that women should be respected. Singh subsequently repeated the phrase “I am Toxic”, echoing the title of Yash’s upcoming film.

The dramatic wording has contributed to the online traction surrounding her criticism, with supporters and critics debating both the substance and tone of her comments.

Who Is Risheekaa Singh?

Risheekaa Singh is a Kannada actor known for appearances in films including Kalla Malla Sulla, Benki Birugali, Kanthirava and Thuntaru.

She is the daughter of veteran filmmaker Rajendra Singh Babu and was also a contestant on the first season of Bigg Boss Kannada.

Her latest comments have brought renewed attention to her public profile as the conversation around Toxic continues online.

What Is Yash’s Toxic About?

Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic stars Yash in the lead role alongside Kiara Advani and Nayanthara. The film has generated considerable interest for its large-scale production, visual presentation and action-oriented promotional material.

The multilingual project has also attracted attention because of its ensemble cast and Geetu Mohandas’ involvement as director.

With the trailer now becoming a talking point in its own right, discussion around the film is no longer limited to its action sequences and visuals. The intimate scenes and their portrayal of relationships have become another major subject of public debate.

Toxic Release Date and What Happens Next

Toxic is scheduled for release on August 26, with the film expected to arrive in multiple languages.

For now, the controversy remains largely centred on the trailer and the reactions it has generated online. Whether the debate will have any impact on the film’s reception will become clearer after its theatrical release.

As social media conversations continue, the focus is likely to shift back to the film itself once audiences get an opportunity to see the complete story rather than individual scenes presented in promotional material.
