The team of Rocking Star Yash's upcoming film, titled Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, has been unveiling killer posters revealing each character since December.
Yash, in a rugged look, posing in a bloody bathtub and flexing his chiselled biceps, set the Internet ablaze. Nayanthara, in a strong and serious avatar as Ganga - holding a gun while standing at what appears to be the entrance of a large casino - offered a glimpse of just how powerful her role is. Now, a BTS video of Nayanthara and Yash filming has gone viral online.
About the Viral Clip
In the video, Nayanthara struts in, walks up to a man and does a firm handshake. Yash follows and does the same.
Nayanthara looks alluring in a black gown, while Yash sports a white outfit. There's a brief glimpse of Huma Qureshi in the background, too - she plays the role of Elizabeth.

How Fans Reacted
Fans have been drawing various comparisons between Toxic, Bombay Velvet and Peaky Blinders, based on the initial poster looks and now the BTS clips.
One person commented, "If it's like Bombay Velvet, they are using Kiara Advani as a bar dancer only for her skin to show. It's so predictable."
Another wrote, "Is Peaky really the benchmark? But what's the point of comparing every single Indian movie with the West?"
One person wrote, "Bombay Velvet yet again?"
Other comments stated, "Bombay Velvet vibes" and "It seems like they are imitating Peaky Blinders."
While some stated, "Personally, I'm not rooting for this movie."
There has also been a barrage of such comments on X.
