KGF star Yash is gearing up for yet another action thriller. The film titled Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups is directed by Geetu Mohandas and is currently in production. The film is currently being shot in two languages, Kannada and English since Yash enjoys fandom outside of India and this makes its appeal to a larger audience.
