Today, as we release the first look of our film, we are also celebrating Yash – a man who the country respects for his vision and his ego. I have witnessed his genius and to those who know him or follow his journey, his process is as mysterious as it is meticulous.

It's both a privilege and a thrill to co-write this fascinating world with a mind that sees the extraordinary where others see the ordinary. When our two worlds of thought collide, the result is neither compromise nor chaos – it is the transformation that happens when artistic vision meets the precision of commercial storytelling, crossing borders, languages ​​and cultural boundaries ” Geetu adds, “We hope to bring an experience that awakens something primal in all of us – a film that is not just meant to be seen, but also to be felt.

Through a process of quiet reverence for my craft, he taught me that the journey of creation is sacred. For them, nothing is certain except the adventure of the journey ahead. These are not just words spoken by a director about his actor and not just for his ardent fans, but for anyone who wants to understand his unwavering passion for cinema and immense sense of creativity. Happy Birthday to our Monster Mind!

Ahead of his birthday, 'KGF' star Yash also released a new poster of his upcoming film 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups'.

But, some unfortunate incidents have also happened. Now is the time to change our love language, especially when it comes to celebrating my birthday.

Expressing your love should not be done through grand gestures and celebrations. The greatest gift for me is knowing that you are safe, setting a positive example, achieving your goals, and spreading happiness.” Yash further said, “I will be busy shooting and will not be in the city on my birthday. However, the warmth of your good wishes will always reach me and be my constant companion, energizing my soul and inspiring me. Stay safe and I wish you all the best for 2025.”
