She also objected to a scene featuring Yash.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The trailer, directed by Geetu Mohandas, has received varied reactions from viewers. While the promotional video has increased anticipation for the movie, it has also triggered criticism over some of its scenes.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Risheekaa Ssingh shared her views through videos posted on Instagram. In one video, she directly addressed Yash and questioned his appearance in the trailer.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Risheekaa Ssingh criticises Yash&#8217;s scene<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Risheekaa Ssingh strongly criticised Yash over a scene in which the actor appears partially nude.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>She said, &#8220;Beauty is what truly suits a woman, but respect is what truly suits a man, my boy. Why did you have to drop your pants like that you absolute monkey? You have a wife waiting at home so what&#8217;s the need for flirting with actresses? We certainly don&#8217;t support this new business of yours at all. You have women in your own life, yet you come here acting tough and talking big. Show women some proper respect or we will surely kick you out of Karnataka.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>At the end of the video, Risheekaa Ssingh added, &#8220;I am Toxic.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Actor questions women&#8217;s representation<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>In another video, Risheekaa Ssingh explained that she supports the growth of Kannada cinema. She also welcomed the ambition behind a major Kannada production featuring a Bollywood actress.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>However, she said the treatment of women in the trailer did not appeal to her.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>She added, &#8220;I want Kannada cinema to grow and reach an international audience. I am happy that a big film like Toxic is being made in Kannada and that a Bollywood actress is also part of it. <!-- -->But I did not like the way women have been portrayed in the trailer.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Kiara Advani&#8217;s portrayal questioned<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Risheekaa Ssingh also raised questions about the presentation of the women in &#8216;Toxic&#8217;. She pointed to the number of female actors associated with the project.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>She said, &#8220;There are five female actors in the film. Has even one of them been shown beautifully or in a complimentary manner? Why was Kiara Advani brought from Bollywood to be portrayed in such a manner?&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Geetu Mohandas previously addressed teaser reactions<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Toxic&#8217; had faced mixed reactions even before the trailer arrived. <!-- -->The teaser had prompted discussions about its themes and the treatment of female characters.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"44\"\/>Geetu Mohandas had previously addressed some of those conversations through an Instagram note.
