Yash's Toxic teaser, which was unveiled on January 8, marking his birthday, came under scrutiny after complaints were filed against it over an 'obscene' clip. The Karnataka State Women's Commission had written to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) seeking action on the teaser. Similarly, a social activist had also filed a similar complaint with the board. Now, the CBFC has broken its silence on the matter. 

CBFC reacts to Toxic complaints

According to an NDTV report, sources in the CBFC have now clarified that the Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups teaser was released exclusively on YouTube and hence it does not fall under the certification body's jurisdiction. According to CBFC officials, certification is compulsory only for films and trailers made for theatrical presentation. As a result, any online promotional content that is released on digital platforms remains outside the CBFC's purview.
