The release of the film ‘Toxic’ has been marked by legal action taken by KVN Productions LLP to combat what it describes as false and malicious campaigns. A Bengaluru civil court issued an ex-parte interim injunction to prevent the spread of defamatory and derogatory content regarding the film, with the order set to remain in effect until September 28.

While the court order does not explicitly ban genuine criticism or negative reviews, reports indicate that several content creators and YouTubers have received legal notices concerning their reviews. Alongside these legal developments, reports have surfaced regarding the remuneration of the film’s cast, including lead actor Yash, who reportedly received 50 crore rupees.
