Yash’s prominence skyrocketed after the massive success of his 2018 film, KGF, followed by the box office sensation KGF 2 in 2022, which amassed over Rs 1,000 crore globally. His transition into pan-Indian stardom has amplified the anticipation for Toxic, which promises to be a cinematic spectacle.

Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor is gearing up for her upcoming roles in Bollywood. She's slated to portray Ajay Devgn's character's spouse in Singham 3. Alongside this, she's also part of the star-studded cast in the eagerly awaited film The Crew, co-starring Tabu, Kriti Sanon, and Diljit Dosanjh. The movie delves into the lives of three women navigating the trials within the airline industry.

Interestingly, during an event in 2018, Kareena Kapoor expressed, "Although I don't speak Kannada, I hope someday I will entertain in your language. Maybe in a film someday. Cinema is the coming together of people, which has no language, religion, or regional boundaries. Cinema is in my blood. It is my passion, and it is food for the soul for me."
