Yash’s Toxic Crosses ₹178 Crore in 4 Days; Akshay Oberoi Calls Him ‘Boss’ and Praises Director Geetu Mohandas
Akshay Oberoi on Toxic: Actor Akshay Oberoi, who played Tony in the film "Toxic," discussed the working style of Yash and Geetu Mohandas. He also addressed the audience's varying opinions about the film.
Yash's much-anticipated film "Toxic" continues to command attention at the box office even as its daily collections have cooled from the explosive numbers of its opening day. The film crossed the ₹150 crore mark within its first three days and has now taken its four-day total to ₹178.46 crore, cementing its place as one of the year's most talked-about theatrical releases. The dip in daily earnings after a stellar debut is a familiar trajectory for big-ticket openers, and trade watchers will be closely tracking whether the film can sustain momentum through its first extended weekend.
Akshay Oberoi Explains The "Boss" Tag
Amid the film's commercial run, co-star Akshay Oberoi has been speaking candidly about his experience working alongside Yash, offering fans a rare, personal window into the making of the film. Explaining why he refers to Yash as "Boss," Oberoi said the term comes straight from the heart. "When I look at him, I see all my shortcomings. I know I'm a good actor. There's no need to be modest about it. But perhaps I have some other shortcomings," he said, adding that Yash is "like a walking industry, creating his own projects."
Oberoi's comments point to more than just on-screen admiration - they reflect the broader industry narrative around Yash, who has been credited with pushing Kannada cinema onto a national and even global stage in recent years. According to Oberoi, "Toxic" itself has benefited considerably from the star power Yash commands, a factor that has likely contributed to the film's strong opening and sustained box office run.
