Kasaba director Nithin Renji Panicker mocks Yash’s Toxic helmer Geetu Mohandas over alleged hypocrisy in her feminist ideals

by

On January 8, 2025, the charismatic actor Yash will be turning 39 years old. In honor of this special day, the creators of the movie “Toxic” shared a sneak peek into the film showcasing Yash in an intense and uncontrolled character, similar to his role in KGF.

As I watched the teaser unfold, the work of Malayalam director Nithin Renji Panicker caught my attention. In a bold move, he publicly questioned the actions of fellow filmmaker Geetu Mohandas, alleging hypocrisy in the portrayal of women. This rekindled an old feud between them. On his Instagram story, Nithin penned a thoughtful note in Malayalam, expressing his criticism towards Geetu for what he perceived as a change in her ideals regarding the representation of women in cinema.

In the note, Nithin playfully commented that a work like Kasaba, which presented without misogyny, objectification of women’s bodies, and free from the “male gaze,” was criticized openly by someone who urged her peer to say, “Speak up… Speak up.

In a subsequent remark, the director pointed out that the individual had “handily redefined misogyny to suit their needs” following a change in location, using the hashtag #Toxic to emphasize the toxic nature of the situation.

In simpler terms, during an old disagreement in the Malayalam film industry, actress Parvathy Thiruvothu publicly criticized the movie “Kasaba” starring Mammootty for its sexist portrayals and objectification of women. This was backed by Geetu Mohandas on stage, encouraging her to speak out against the film, causing quite a commotion.

With a fresh sneak peek of Yash’s film “Toxic” now available, the director of “Kasaba” has decided to criticize the filmmaker for what he perceives as hypocrisy in their ideals. The birthday preview of “Toxic” revealed a completely different look for Yash compared to his appearance in the KGF series.

As the scene unfolded, it revealed a casino setting where women were dressed provocatively, with men being overly familiar. However, the preview concluded with the Famous Actor entering and behaving similarly with a woman, even splashing a drink on her. These events are said to have prompted Director Nithin’s criticism of Actress Geetu.
