Yash turns 40 today, and on the special occasion, the teaser of his most-awaited film ‘Toxic’ was launched. Now, Geetu Mohandas, the director of the film, has extended heartwarming birthday wishes to Yash and also spoke about working with him

A rare fusion of talent and superstardom

In a note shared on Instagram, Geetu Mohandas said that Yash is a rare fusion of talent and superstardom. “A rare fusion of talent and superstardom is a formidable combination. I am immensely proud of Yash, not just for the performance of Raya the world is yet to witness, but for the discipline, and heart he brought to our film every single day,” she said.





The filmmaker also expressed how Yash’s role as Raya in ‘Toxic’ stands out. “This is not just a role he performed, it is a chapter he carved into his own artistic legacy. He questioned, challenged, explored, and surrendered, always in service of the story when truth meets art,” she added.

Mohandas further elaborated about their collaboration and how the actor used to stay on sets even after his scenes. “Through our collaboration, I discovered not just the depths of storytelling but also a producer who supported me throughout and made this journey profoundly meaningful. In the whirlwind of his fame, it’s easy to overlook the depth beneath the surface. My wish is that his future directors will dare to explore the vast potential of brilliance he brings to his craft. Our journey together was built on faith, long conversations, and a shared belief in something bigger than either of us.. I feel grateful for the trust, artistry and above all the friendship we share. He will stay with me long after the cameras stops rolling. Happy birthday Yash.”
