భారత్‌తో మ్యాచ్..జింబాబ్వే ప్లేయర్లకు పాకిస్తాన్ నటి బంపరాఫర్

The upcoming Kannada film “Toxic,” starring Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas, is currently embroiled in controversy following allegations of illegal tree felling during its shoot in Karnataka’s forests. The Karnataka Forest Department has issued a show-cause notice to the filmmakers after it was revealed that they allegedly cut down trees on forest land without proper clearance.

Karnataka Forest Minister Eshwar B. Khandre has expressed concern over the filmmakers’ actions, particularly their misrepresentation of the forest land status in an Interlocutory Application submitted to the Supreme Court in 2020. The filmmakers are also being criticized for attempting to acquire denotification approval for the land without the required Cabinet permission.

Minister Khandre personally visited the location in October 2024 and observed the illegal activities. He has vowed to pursue legal action against those responsible for this violation, calling it a serious offense. Despite this setback, “Toxic,” which has generated significant buzz with its bold teaser and unique portrayal of Yash, remains one of the most anticipated Kannada films of the year. However, the ongoing controversy has raised concerns about the potential impact on the film’s scheduled release in December 2025.
