Reports claim Yash ordered Toxic’s director to reshoot Mumbai portions due to dissatisfaction with Kiara Advani’s acting. Full details, fan reactions, and industry fallout revealed.
Yash’s Shocking Demand: Toxic’s Mumbai Schedule to Be Reshot Over Kiara Advani’s Acting?
A bombshell report by Amar Ujala has sent shockwaves through the film industry: Yash, the pan-India superstar, allegedly asked Toxic’s director to reshoot the entire Mumbai schedule after disliking Kiara Advani’s performance in the footage. With the film’s budget and release timeline at stake, here’s a deep dive into the controversy, why Yash took this drastic step, and what it means for the future of Toxic.
What Triggered the Reshoot Demand?
The Amar Ujala Report – Key Claims
- Sources claim Yash reviewed the Mumbai schedule footage and found Kiara Advani’s acting “unconvincing” for her role.
- The KGF star reportedly insisted on a reshoot to “maintain the film’s quality,” delaying the project by 2–3 months.
- Toxic’s director (name undisclosed) and team are scrambling to adjust schedules and budgets.
Yash’s Reputation as a Perfectionist
- Known for his meticulous approach in KGF 1 & 2, Yash’s creative control often extends to co-stars’ performances.
- Industry insiders say: “He won’t compromise, even if it costs crores. This is why his films succeed.”
Kiara Advani’s Role in Toxic – Why the Friction?
Kiara’s Character: A Ruthless Antagonist?
- Rumored to play a sharp-witted corporate villain opposing Yash’s protagonist.
- The role marks her first major pan-India project post-Shershaah and JugJugg Jeeyo.
Performance Concerns – Real or Overblown?
- Critics argue Kiara’s “girl-next-door” image may clash with a darker, intense role.
- Supporters counter: *“She nailed dramatic scenes in *Guilty. This is a smear campaign!”
Fallout of the Reshoot Decision
Budget Implications
- Toxic’s budget, initially ₹200 crore, could balloon by ₹30–40 crore due to reshoots.
- Sets, VFX, and actor dates (including Yash and Kiara) need reallocation.
Release Date Delays
- The film, slated for late 2025, may now target mid-2026.
- Clashes with other Yash projects (KGF 3 rumors) could arise.
Kiara’s Career Crossroads
- A reshoot demand could dent her market value for high-stakes roles.
- However, redemption via a stellar performance might silence critics.
