Filmmaker Geetha Mohandas has landed at the centre of a heated social media debate following the circulation of a bold scene from the upcoming film Toxic, starring Yash. The controversy stems from a stark contrast between her earlier public statements and the content now being discussed online.
In the past, Geetha Mohandas had clearly stated that, as a filmmaker, she considered it her responsibility to create movies that audiences could comfortably watch with their families. That remark was widely appreciated at the time, especially in an industry often criticised for excessive adult content. However, the release of a particular scene from Toxic has now triggered strong reactions, with many netizens questioning whether the director has moved away from her own filmmaking philosophy.
The scene, which has gone viral across social media platforms, is being described by users as excessively bold and far removed from the “family-friendly” values she once spoke about. Several viewers have gone as far as calling it unnecessary, arguing that it feels designed purely for shock value rather than storytelling. Comparisons between her earlier interviews and the current visuals are being widely shared, fuelling the backlash.
Social media platforms are flooded with debates, memes, and critical posts, with users expressing disappointment and confusion over what they see as a contradiction. While some argue that filmmakers should be free to explore different themes and styles, others insist that such a drastic shift invites scrutiny, especially when it contradicts earlier public commitments.
As Toxic continues to generate buzz for multiple reasons, this controversy has added another layer of attention to the film. Whether the debate will impact audience perception at the box office remains to be seen, but for now, Geetha Mohandas finds herself under intense online spotlight, with netizens closely examining the gap between words spoken and visuals delivered.
