Tovino Thomas dismisses rumors of being cast in Yash’s Toxic
Speaking with Galatta Plus, Tovino Thomas clarified that he is not part of the film. He also explained that he shares updates about it only because Geetu Mohandas is like a sister to him.
The actor said, “I do not tell lies. I might hide some truths, but I don’t tell lies. I am not playing the villain, nor am I part of Toxic. The thing is Geetu Mohandas is like a sister to me. We are very close, and whenever she posts on social media the posters, I will just share it. That is why people think I am part of Toxic. If I was part of Toxic, I will tell or I would just hide the truth by saying, let’s just skip the question.”
For those unaware, rumors surfaced online that Tovino Thomas might be part of Yash’s Toxic after he reshared content from the film on social media.
