Yash-starrer ‘Toxic’ being shot in English and Kannada, director ensures ‘authentic experience’

Mumbai, Feb 24: Yash’s “Toxic” is touted to be the first ever large scale Indian film to be conceptualised, written, and filmed in both English and Kannada. Director Geetu Mohandas says the vision was to craft a narrative that resonates with audiences both in “India and globally”.
“Our vision for ‘Toxic’ was to craft a narrative that resonates authentically with audiences both in India and globally,” says director Geetu Mohandas.
“Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups” will be dubbed in multiple Indian and international languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam.
Mohandas added: “We’ve strived to capture the nuances of the story in both Kannada and English, ensuring an authentic experience for viewers across different linguistic and cultural backgrounds.”
He said that the film “explores a collaboration of artistic vision and precision of commercial storytelling.”
“It’s a journey that transcends borders, languages, and cultural confines, designed to connect with hearts and minds worldwide,” concluded the director.
Toxic, a film jointly produced by Venkat Narayana under KVN Productions and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, was conceived as a global cinematic experience.
The film’s international team—including action sequences by JJ Perry, best known for his work in the John Wick and Fast & Furious franchises, and visual effects by DNEG, who recently won the BAFTA Film Award for Special Visual Effects for Dune: Part Two—was carefully assembled to match the project’s scale.
Last month, on Yash’s birthday, the makers released a “Birthday Peek” offering a glimpse into the film. Filming began in August 2024.
Producer Venkat K Narayana emphasised the film’s ambitious scope, saying, “Our goal for “Toxic” was crystal clear: a film that resonates in India and globally. From the very beginning, we were driven by a deep conviction in this story and its potential. This unwavering belief fueled our “all-in” approach, required to bring this cinematic experience to life.”
“We embraced the challenge wholeheartedly, confident that “Toxic” will not only captivate audiences worldwide but also showcase the brilliance of Indian cinema on a global stage.”

Nargis Fakhri Marriage: Who Is Tony Beig? Here’s All You Need To Know About Housefull 5 Actress’ Husband

Nargis Fakhri has always guarded her personal life, and has never spoken about her relationships. Many years ago, she was in the news for dating Uday Chopra, but both the actors never confirmed their relationship. Later, Nargis made it to the headlines for being in a relationship with businessman Tony Beig, but once again, the actress never spoke about it.
Now, recently, there have been reports of Nargis and Tony getting married, and a few inside pictures of their wedding made it to the social media. However, in those pictures apart from the venue and a cake, we don’t get to see anything else.
A report in TOI confirmed that the two got married last week in California and the wedding was a low-key affair. Reportedly, the couple are currently on their honeymoon in Switzerland.
While Nargis’ fans wait to see their favourite actress’ wedding pictures, let us give you a brief about who Tony Beig is. The 41-year-old businessman hails from Kashmir, but he is now settled in the US. He is the founder of Dioz Group which was launched in 2006. Many brands like Alanic, Oasis, 8Health, 8EV and 1 Energy come under Dioz Group.
Beig did his MBA from Victoria University of Technology in Melbourne, and while his company has its headquarters in Los Angeles, they have multiple offices in different parts of the world like London, Dubai, Riyadh, Sydney, Dhaka, Shanghai, and Kolkata.
Tony’s brother Johnny Beig is a film producer, and his father Shakeel Ahmad Beig is a politician. Shakeel Ahmad Beig earlier was the Deputy Inspector General of Jammu and Kashmir.
Nargis hails from the US, and reportedly, the two have been in a relationship from the past three years. While Nargis and Tony have not yet officially announced their wedding, the latter recently shared a picture with the actress on his Instagram story.
