The ‘Toxic’ team knows how to make a birthday special! As filmmaker Geethu Mohandas marked her birthday, the makers of the upcoming Yash-starrer dropped a never-seen-before BTS video that has fans even more hyped for the film.
The one-minute clip gives a raw, unfiltered look at the sets, capturing Geethu in her element—directing, instructing, and managing the massive scale of ‘Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups’. From blast sequences to intimate scenes, the video is a director’s diary come to life.
Inside the BTS Birthday Surprise
The video opens with Geethu Mohandas walking onto the set, immediately taking charge. The shots reveal the making of the Christian Cemetery sequence, which served as the teaser and introduction for Yash’s character Raya. The action choreography team is seen getting detailed instructions from the ‘Liar’s Dice’ director.
But that’s not all—the BTS also features circus shoots, street sequences, and club or bar setups. The scale is ambitious, and Geethu is seen seamlessly switching between guiding actors and coordinating big-budget explosions. The makers captioned the video: “Behind every shot that hit different, every silence that said more than dialogue ever could, there she was! Happy birthday, Geetu Mohandas.”
Geethu Mohandas: The Captain on Set
What stands out in the footage is Geethu’s hands-on approach. She is seen instructing Yash while filming Raya’s introduction, ensuring every frame hits the mark. From managing massive action set-pieces to fine-tuning actor performances, the filmmaker handles it all with a calm confidence that speaks volumes about her vision for ‘Toxic’.
The film features Yash in a dual avatar, and the BTS hints at the depth of his character. The supporting cast is a powerhouse lineup: Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria—all set to bring their A-game to this ambitious project.
What’s Next for ‘Toxic’?
Earlier this year, the makers announced that the film’s release has been pushed from its original June 4 date. The reason? A phenomenal response at CinemaCon opened doors for a wider global release. Industry sources suggest that the team is taking extra time to ensure a bigger, bolder launch worldwide.
With a BTS drop like this, the anticipation is only growing. Fans are already dissecting every frame, and the birthday treat has only added to the buzz. ‘Toxic’ is shaping up to be one hell of a cinematic ride—and if the BTS is anything to go by, Geethu Mohandas is cooking up something truly massive.
