The Yash-starrer Toxic is one of the most highly anticipated films of 2025. However, as filming continues, the project has hit a legal snag, with the Karnataka Forest Department filing a case against its makers for illegal felling of trees.
According to the ANI report, authorities have registered an FIR against the producers for unlawfully cutting down trees on forest land to build film sets in Bengaluru. Additionally, authorities have filed cases against the General Manager of Canara Bank and the General Manager of Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT).
Recently, Karnataka Environment Minister Eshwar Khandre accused Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT) of illegally felling hundreds of trees on forest land in Peenya during the filming of the Yash-starrer Toxic.
Khandre said, “The filming of the movie on forestland under HMT’s jurisdiction has led to the illegal cutting down of hundreds of trees, as seen in satellite images.”
He then directed forest officials to take immediate legal action against those responsible for tree felling.
Yash is currently in Mumbai to shoot scenes for his next big project, Toxic, an intense action thriller that promises to bring a fresh avatar of the star to audiences. The film will also feature Kiara Advani as his co-star, marking an exciting pairing that fans are eager to see on-screen.
Geetu Mohandas wrote and directed Toxic, which KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations jointly produced. The film has postponed its original release date in April 2025.
