Geetu Mohandas on co-writing Toxic with Yash: ‘When our two worlds of thought collided…’

She added, “It is both a privilege and a thrill to have co- written this world alongside a mind that sees the extraordinary where others see the ordinary. When our two worlds of thought collided, the result is neither compromise nor chaos—it’s the transformation that happens when artistic vision meets the precision of commercial storytelling transcending borders, languages, and cultural confines. We hope to bring an experience woven to ignite something primal in all of us- a film not just to be watched, but to be felt.”

Praising Yash, Geetu Mohandas further said the actor’s process of quiet reverence for his craft has taught her that the journey of creation is sacred.

She wrote, “These words are not just spoken from a director about her actor and not just for his ardent admirers, but for anyone seeking to understand his unwavering passion for cinema and boundless spirit of creativity.”

On Wednesday, post the teaser release, fans expressed their excitement to see Yash on the big screen after a huge gap of nearly three years. Meanwhile, some criticised the teaser. One of them was Kasaba director Nithin Renji Panicker, who took a jibe at Geetu Mohandas in his Instagram Story writing, “When it came to crossing state lines, they conveniently revised their definition of misogyny to suit their comfort.”

This was almost nine years after Geetu had criticised Nithin for a scene in Kasaba where Mammootty pulls on a female police officer’s belt and tell her he could make her miss her menstrual cycle.

Toxic is scheduled for release this year.
