BJP's K Annamalai Slams Yash's Toxic For Sexualising Women
· Entertainment · NDTV, Times of India
BJP leader K Annamalai has publicly criticised the Kannada film 'Toxic', starring Yash, saying it portrays women in a sexualised manner. Expressing concern over the film's box-office success, Annamalai warned that if children watch such films, the impact on their mindset would be serious. He also alleged that the glorification of certain themes in cinema sends a damaging message to younger audiences. The remarks place a political spotlight on the Yash-led project, which has been one of the most anticipated Kannada releases. The report does not specify whether the BJP or Annamalai has called for any formal action against the film.
Why it matters
Annamalai's intervention turns a high-profile Kannada film into a political flashpoint, raising the bar for self-regulation and content scrutiny in South Indian cinema where star-driven box-office pulls are massive.
