Indian film actor Yash, widely recognized for his groundbreaking role in the KGF franchise, was initially anticipated to collaborate with Kareena Kapoor Khan in the upcoming film ‘Toxic’. However, recent developments suggest that this anticipated pairing may not materialize, reportedly due to unforeseen issues involving the esteemed ‘Crew’ star.
Kareena, whose recent cinematic venture ‘Crew’, directed by Rajesh A Krishnan, alongside Tabu and Kriti Sanon, enjoyed a commendable run at the box office, was poised to join forces with Yash in ‘Toxic’, helmed by director Geetu Mohandas. Rumors had swirled that Kareena was being eyed to portray Yash’s sister in the film, opposite the talented Kiara Advani, who is set to essay the female lead role.
Despite the initial excitement surrounding this potential collaboration, complications arose, primarily stemming from scheduling conflicts. Yash, whose calendar is brimming with commitments including Nitesh Tiwari’s highly anticipated ‘Ramayana’, found his availability misaligned with Kareena’s, leading to a mutual decision to part ways amicably.
A source intimately familiar with the project disclosed, “Kareena Kapoor’s dates do not align with the dates of Yash for Toxic. After making efforts to set the calendar right, the makers have amicably parted ways.”
‘Toxic’ is purportedly poised to delve deep into the dynamics of sibling relationships, necessitating the presence of a top-tier actress for the pivotal role. Consequently, the production team is now actively seeking actresses with a Pan India appeal to fill this crucial void.
‘Toxic’, boasting a stellar cast featuring Yash and Kiara Advani, under the adept direction of Geetu Mohandas, is slated to hit the silver screens on April 10, 2025. Additionally, Yash is reportedly set to assume the formidable role of Ravana in ‘Ramayana’, alongside the esteemed Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and the ethereal Sai Pallavi as Devi Sita. Recent leaked images from the sets provided a tantalizing glimpse into the majestic world being crafted by the filmmakers.
