However, some fans also showed support to the actor, saying, "Yash is going to show Ranbir what a real Animal looks like."
While one user claimed, "This movie will not be 10% of Animal." Another user said, "Just adding adult scenes and nudity doesn't mean it will match the intensity or standards of Animal."

Why are fans comparing Toxic to Animal?
Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal became one of the most commercially successful Indian films of 2023 despite generating considerable backlash over its violence and portrayal of masculinity.
Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film followed Ranvijay as his struggling relationship with his father, Balbir Singh, shaped his violent journey.
The film’s bold imagery and mature content became frequent talking points during its theatrical run. Now, Yash’s Toxic appears to be exploring a similarly dark and violent space, which has led some viewers to draw comparisons between the two films.
