Video of Yash shooting for Toxic leaks online

In a video circulating online, Yash can be seen standing on a balcony. Dressed in just jeans without a shirt on, the scene shows the actor smoking a cigarette. The video is shot from a distance by a fan who zooms in and out on the actor during the take. A signboard is partially visible at the bottom, and it bears the name Samuel. Some crew members can be seen standing seemingly out of the shot below the balcony and smiling.

Fans were thrilled to see a glimpse of Toxic, even if it was an unofficial one. One fan commented, “Just look at the swag.” Another wrote, “Omg. Toxic Leak Video. Yash is Looking Damm Too Good.” Some seemed thrilled at the prospect of the film’s teaser release, leaving comments like, “Can’t wait for action teaser,” and “Imagine #TOXIC Teaser Day & Release Day Vibes.” One thrilled fan wrote, “Just Leaked Video Rule The Entire Social Media.”
