'Toxic' Ban? Child Rights Body Seeks Ban On Teaser Of Yash Starrer 'Toxic' Over Obscene Content

This news report highlights the mounting legal challenges for the upcoming film 'Toxic', starring actor Yash. The Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has formally approached the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) seeking a ban on the film's teaser. The commission's chairman stated that the teaser 'violates public decency and is unfit' for family viewing due to depictions of violence and sexual content. The body expressed concern that the content, available on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, negatively impacts children and undermines social morality. This follows similar objections previously raised by the State Women's Commission. The child rights body has directed the filmmakers to replace the current teaser with alternative scenes and has urged the CBFC to ensure the content is pulled down from all social media platforms to protect the youth and maintain public decency.
