Yash's Toxic Trailer Bare-Body Scene Draws Animal Comparisons
A new movie called 'Toxic' is coming out soon, and people are very excited about its trailer.
In the trailer, actor Yash stands without a shirt while holding a bottle, and that part of the scene is hidden with a censor blur.
Many viewers said Yash looks just like actor Ranbir Kapoor in another movie called 'Animal'.
Some fans joked that Yash copied Ranbir, while others said Yash's movie will be even better.
Some people also compared the look to Ranveer Singh's character in a movie called 'Dhurandhar'.
'Toxic' is an action thriller set in the criminal world of Goa, a place in India.
Yash plays a character named Raya and even plays two roles in the film.
Many famous actors, like Nayanthara and Kiara Advani, are also in the movie.
The movie was made by director Geetu Mohandas and will be released all over the world on August 26, 2026.
It will be shown in six languages, including Kannada, Hindi and English.
The 'Toxic' trailer, unveiled on Saturday, shows Yash bare-bodied and holding a bottle with the intimate area censored, drawing comparisons to Ranbir Kapoor in 'Animal' and Ranveer Singh in 'Dhurandhar'.
Social media users shared side-by-side images, with comments such as 'Bro thinks he's Ranbir Kapoor' and 'Yash done PhD in copying and Inspiring Ranbir.'
Supporters countered with 'Yash is going to show Ranbir what a real Animal looks like,' while critics called the trailer 'literally a cheap copy' that 'will not be 10% of Animal.'
'Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups' is a period action thriller directed and co-written by Geetu Mohandas, set in Goa's crime underworld, with Yash portraying dual roles.
The film stars Yash as Raya alongside Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth and Tara Sutaria, and releases worldwide on August 26, 2026, in six languages.
