While some viewers have questioned the film’s bold treatment, Yash said actors should have the freedom to follow their creative instincts.

Speaking about his co-stars at the trailer launch, Yash highlighted Kiara’s commitment to the project. He said that the audience had only seen a glimpse of her performance through the trailer and praised the work she had put into her character.

“And what you have to go through as an actor, unfortunately, don’t care about it. Whatever you believe in, you should do and people will celebrate, people will appreciate,” he said.
Yash added that certain creative works may take time for audiences to fully understand and appreciate.
“It’s just that we are a little ahead of times,” he added.
His comments have attracted attention because they came at a time when Kiara’s role in Toxic has become a major topic of discussion across social media.
