US EditionYash Begins Gruelling 45-Day Shoot with John Wick Action Director JJ Perry for Toxic
JJ Perry leads a 45-day action shoot in Mumbai for Toxic, employing an all-Indian stunt crew to create immersive sequences blending global and Indian cinematic styles.
- Currently, Hollywood action director J.J. Perry is leading a 45-day action shoot in Mumbai for 'Toxic', starring Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas, targeting a worldwide release on March 19, 2026.
- Behind the spectacle, the project grew into a �600 crore venture aiming to create immersive, visceral action and a new grammar for Indian cinema, shot simultaneously in Kannada and English with multiple dubbed versions.
- Months of prep shows the team relied on storyboarding, previz sessions, and tactical rehearsals, while J.J. Perry hand-picked an all-Indian stunt crew and called the collaboration a career highlight.
- Behind the cameras, the team is contending with endless reshoots, scrapped schedules, casting changes, and a restless production crew after two years with barely 60% complete, while industry whispers say Yash has sidelined Geetu Mohandas, risking his KGF-dependent legacy.
- While Mumbai endures monsoon rains, the production is coordinated by Perry, Yash, director Geetu Mohandas, VFX house DNEG and producer Venkat K. Narayana, positioning Toxic as a pan-Indian global play to cement Yash's post-KGF 2 legacy.
