Adding to the excitement, a behind-the-scenes (BTS) video from the sets of Toxic has now gone viral on social media. The short clip featuring Yash and Nayanthara together has sparked widespread discussion and curiosity among fans. In the viral video, Nayanthara is seen walking up to a man and shaking him hand, followed by Yash greeting him in the same manner. Though brief, the glimpse has grabbed attention due to the film’s striking visual tone.

Nayanthara, who plays the character Ganga, looks stunning in a black gown, while Yash appears effortlessly stylish in an all-white outfit. Huma Qureshi can also be spotted in the background, adding to the intrigue surrounding the ensemble cast. Fans were thrilled to see the chemistry and grandeur reflected even in the behind-the-scenes moment. However, the clip also triggered mixed reactions, with some netizens drawing comparisons to Anurag Kashyap’s Bombay Velvet because of the vintage aesthetics.

While many fans praised the visuals, a section of social media users felt the clip gave off Bombay Velvet vibes. One comment read, “Getting Bombay Velvet vibes,” while another said, “Bombay Velvet vibes again?” The comparison raised eyebrows, especially since Bombay Velvet was a major box-office failure, earning only ₹23.71 crore despite its grand scale.

However, several fans defended Toxic, stating that judging a film based on a short BTS clip is premature and that Yash’s strong screen presence could make all the difference. Earlier, the makers officially introduced Nayanthara as Ganga, and the first-look poster instantly went viral. The actress surprised fans with her fierce and powerful avatar. She is seen wearing a deep-neck black gown paired with knee-high boots, holding a gun, exuding confidence and mystery.
