Actor Kichcha Sudeep took to X and wrote, “Just want to say this, @TheNameIsYash— you’ve genuinely tried something out of the box rather than taking the predictable route of making another regular, expected, formulaic follow-up to your previous commercial blockbuster. It takes a different mindset, conviction, and most importantly, the guts to attempt something like this. #Toxic is an unusual and commendable attempt. There are several portions that are genuinely intriguing and open to great debate, discussion, and learning. Kudos to you for daring to experiment and step away from the conventional. Bestest wishes, my friend.”

'Toxic doesn't respect women': K Annamalai
Former BJP leader K Annamalai targeted Toxic while speaking in Coimbatore: "I heard about a film. It made Rs 104 cr on [its] first day.

We go to cities and talk about women's safety but CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) gives a certificate for a film like this and it gets released. This film doesn’t respect women."

'Did Kiara Advani say I will only play Mother Teresa sort of characters?'
Actor Swastika Mukherjee has questioned people targeting Kiara Advani for her Toxic character, wondering why women have to deal with such hate everytime they do a role that maybe seen as bolder or progressive. "There's already an opinion about everything - more so about women and actors - before people have even seen the film. You don't know what's in the film. You don't know the context. You don't know the worth of the character. You don't know the storyline. You don't know how it's been picturised. You just know that some intimacy is there, so you start your rant and your banter," she told NDTV.
She added, "See, for me, my audience has now come to terms with the fact that I don't care. So even if they say something or they don't, they know it's done with me. It's been happening for too many years. But why should anybody have that expectation? Did Kiara, or the other actor, sign an MOU or publish pamphlets to the entire audience fraternity saying, 'I'm only going to play Mother Teresa-type roles'?"
