Geetu Mohan Das talk about Toxic shock all

Yash's Toxic directed by Geetu Mohan Das which released yesterday got dismal reviews from all quarters.

In the midst of all this, Geetu Mohan Das' talk about Toxic is shocking all.She said , “I have no idea in my writing where I’m going. It can get crazy when you have more than one person collaborating with you on a script. Because they can just throw stones and walk away. My process is quite crazy, erratic, and I arrive at it later. It’s not something I know like, okay, this is the beginning, this is the middle, this is the end. It doesn’t work like that for me.”

She shared “All the scripts I’ve written are by myself. It’s the first time for my next film, I have a writer’s room, and I think they’ve given up on me. They hate me. You have to evolve; I get bored otherwise. So, I think I write something, I shoot something else, I edit something else, and then the film is out. Then I’m happy. I never stick to the script. For my next film, I’m meeting producers. It’s the one thing I keep telling them. You’re not gonna get what you’re reading.”

Netizens reacted in the following way.

The internet, already reacting to Toxic with trolls and memes, had a field day when Geetu’s statement resurfaced. “KVN Productions should have listened to this disclaimer,” wrote one X (formerly Twitter) user, referring to the producer. Konanki Venkata Narayana and Yash produced it through KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations LLP, respectively. One called it, “Toxic: The Torture. Director's cut. 70mm Imax.”

“Maybe this explains why #Toxic ended up receiving such mixed reactions. That creative freedom clearly comes with its own risks — and #Toxic seems to be one such example,” wrote one X user while another added, “That's why it's an outdated stuff in the movie because you don't have clarity or vision for your project. Your lack of vision is clear on the screen. And you are flaunting it? Wow!”
