"Takes guts to attempt something like this": Kichcha Sudeep backs Yash's 'Toxic' amid mixed reactions

"Takes guts to attempt something like this": Kichcha Sudeep backs Yash's 'Toxic' amid mixed reactions

New Delhi [India], August 29 (ANI): Actor Kichcha Sudeep has come out in support of Yash and Geetu Mohandas' 'Toxic' amid the mixed reactions the film has been receiving from critics and sections of the audience.
In a post that the actor shared on X, he praised Yash for choosing to experiment with the film instead of taking the more familiar route after the success of his previous blockbuster.
In his post, Sudeep stated that Yash had made an "out-of-the-box" attempt instead of going for a regular follow-up to his earlier commercial success.
"Just want to say this, @TheNameIsYash -- you've genuinely tried something out of the box rather than taking the predictable route of making another regular, expected, formulaic follow-up to your previous commercial blockbuster," he wrote.
Sudeep also said that trying something different takes "guts" and praised Yash for moving away from the usual commercial style.
"It takes a different mindset, conviction, and most importantly, the guts to attempt something like this. #Toxic is an unusual and commendable attempt. There are several portions that are genuinely intriguing and open to great debate, discussion, and learning. Kudos to you for daring to experiment and step away from the conventional," Sudeep wrote.
