Pushpa Arun Kumar, mother of actor Yash, has responded to the criticism surrounding his upcoming film 'Toxic'. She alleged that certain individuals are attempting to hinder her son's professional growth by circulating negative propaganda about the project. Addressing a past comment from producer Allu Aravind, who had cast doubt on Yash's popularity prior to the 'KGF' series, she stated, "Yash is not some random artist. He was already a successful star...before KGF and...delivered several hit films."
