Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth, Akshay Oberoi and director Geetu Mohandas came together in Bengaluru for the trailer launch of Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups.

The actor hit back at such reports while opening up about the extensive effort that went into making the much-awaited film.

Speaking at the trailer launch, Yash said, "Every 10th day or 20th day, there will be news about a film being shelved, a film being stopped. I don’t know from where they write these stories." The actor revealed that Toxic was shot for around 200 days and explained the reason behind the long gap. Yash added, "It might look like I’ve taken a long gap, trust me. We started August 8, two years ago. This film was shot for 200 days. We have shot two versions."

Yash also assured audiences that the extensive investment in the film would be visible on screen. He said, "You can see every penny we have spent. It is on screen."

He acknowledged that being associated with him is not always easy and said, "It’s not easy to be my friend, okay? It’s not easy to be associated with me in any way. Trust me, I’m a very difficult person to be with."
