Yash
Today marks an incredible day for all the fans eagerly awaiting news about Yash and his highly anticipated film, 'Toxic'. While Yash has been making multiple headlines lately for various reasons, his latest move has truly won our hearts. The production for 'Toxic', directed by Geetu Mohandas, officially began today with a traditional muhurat puja. These ceremonies are typically marked by the presence of industry veterans or the lead actors of the project. However, in a heartwarming and humble gesture, megastar Yash put the spotlight on one of his hardworking crew members. He commemorated the muhurat shot by having a light boy clap the ceremonial slate to mark the big day.
This remarkable act from Yash comes as no surprise to those who know him. He is widely recognized for his humility and his dedication to ensuring that his staff is equally loved and cared for. Yash's gesture today not only highlights his character but also sets a beautiful tone for the production of Toxic.
