Yash halts Toxic pre-release event
The pre-release event of Geetu Mohandas' directorial Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups was held at Malla Reddy Group of Institutions in Medchal-Malkajgiri district on August 22 (Saturday). The film's cast, including Yash and other members, was in attendance. A large crowd soon gathered to catch a glimpse of Kannada star Yash.
According to a report by police officials, the event turned chaotic when some fans climbed onto a speaker stand, while another group performed stunts on the structure. The stand quickly lost balance and collapsed on the crowd below, injuring several viewers. Police immediately shifted the injured students to a hospital for treatment and dispersed the crowd. It is reported that two students were injured, while a girl reportedly fell unconscious.
Following the unfortunate incident, Yash halted the event and asked the organisers to help those who were injured. The actor was on stage speaking when the speaker stood, collapsed and paused mid-speech and asked, “Are they okay?" Please check.”
