  • The Karnataka State Commission for Women (KSWC) has flagged 'obscene' scenes in the teaser for Yash's upcoming film 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups'.
  • The KSWC wrote to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) urging 'appropriate action' after receiving a complaint from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
  • The AAP's women's wing in Karnataka objected to a scene depicting a sexual act in a car near a cemetery, arguing it degrades women and insults Kannada culture.
  • AAP state secretary Usha Mohan stated the explicit content harms social well-being, especially of women and children, and lacks age-related warnings.
  • The film, directed by Geetu Mohandas, is set to release on March 19 and features a cast including Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, and Kiara Advani.
