Did Toxic makers do a PhD in copying

Yash's action entertainer Toxic directed by Geetu Mohan Das is slated for a grand release on 26 Aug 2026. The film stars Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth and Tara Sutaria as the female leads.

The film's trailer was launched yesterday and the fans are thrilled with Yash's macho look and action elements. In the meantime, Yash's nude scene is going viral and now netizens are accusing the makers of doing a PhD in copying.

Netizens are reacting in the following way. One X user shared side-by-side pictures of Yash and Ranbir from Toxic and Animal and wrote, "Yash done PhD in copying and inspiring Ranbir." Another user commented, "Seeing this still reminded me of Ranbir Kapoor's from Animal." A third post read, "#ToxicTrailer is literally a cheap copy of Animal movie," while another user wrote, "Yash tried to recreate Ranbir Kapoor's nude scene from Animal in Toxic, but failed miserably."
