By Murtuza Iqbal

A few days ago, there were reports that Kartik Aaryan will be seen in Sharan Sharma’s next which will be produced by Karan Johar. It was said that the actor will portray the character of a cricketer in the film.


Later, there were reports of Triptii Dimri being roped in for the movie. However, Karan Johar has now cleared the air about the casting of the film.

He tweeted, “There have been lots of speculations and conjectures on The casting of Sharan Sharma’s next film for @DharmaMovies ... just want to specify that the cast of the film hasn’t been locked as the screenplay is being finalised as we speak.... please wait for an official announcement.”

Well, if the reports turn out to be true it will surely be interesting to watch the fresh pairing of Kartik and Triptii on the big screen.

Talking about their other projects, Kartik has movies like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Dhamaka, and Dostana 2 lined up. Dhamaka is slated to release on Netflix, and the shooting of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Dostana 2 is not yet completed.

Meanwhile, Triptii will next be seen in Qala which will release on Netflix. The Anushka Sharma production will mark Irrfan Khan’s son Babil Khan’s acting debut.

For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas

Yash says ‘men and women see life differently’ as 'Toxic' brings a new perspective to storytelling

Highlights

  • Yash says Geethu Mohandas brought a layered and different perspective to Toxic
  • The actor resisted repeating the formula behind K.G.F: Chapter 2
  • Toxic is being developed with a global outlook while remaining rooted in Indian storytelling

Four years after the success of K.G.F: Chapter 2, Yash is returning with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, but not in the way many expected. Instead of following a familiar path after one of India’s biggest box-office hits, the actor says he deliberately moved away from projects that felt designed to recreate past success. For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas, challenge himself creatively and think about Indian cinema on a wider stage.

Moving away from formula and playing safe

Yash revealed that after K.G.F: Chapter 2, several ideas came his way that appeared to follow an expected pattern. Rather than capitalising on what had already worked, he was drawn to stories that demanded more thought and experimentation. That eventually led him to Geethu Mohandas and Toxic. While the film carries the visual language of a gangster drama, Yash explained that it also explores emotional complexity, moral ambiguity and darker aspects of human behaviour.
