“Children should not watch this film. They should stay at home. It has not been made for children, and that is very clear,'' he said.
Further, the actor added, ''Adults know what is right and wrong. They can choose what they want to see, what they want to learn from the film, and what they don't want to do in life. But the film is very genuine and has a deep story.”
What Toxic is about and what the story will revolve around is still being kept under wraps. The makers have revealed very little about the plot so far. But going by the teaser and the poster, Yash, who plays the character of Raya, appears to be a ruthless gangster. The visuals show him in a dark, violent world. In the clips, he is also seen doing a lot of R-rated content, and in the trailer, there is a shot where he is naked. So, based on the content presented so far, the movie is not meant for children at all.
During the conversation, Yash reacted to the ongoing debate over the alleged vulgarity shown in the movie as he talked about new generations.
“The truth is that the new generation will always be better, and the generation before them will always think that they were better. The world always belongs to the youngsters.” He then added, “Vulgarity is wrong. I haven’t even kissed, if you have watched.”
