The film, starring Yash, faces &#8220;obscenity&#8221; complaints from the Karnataka Women\u2019s Commission and social activists, leading to a formal CBFC review of the teaser. Released on January 8, 2026, to coincide with Rocking Star Yash\u2019s birthday, the teaser for &#8216;Toxic&#8217; was intended to showcase the gritty, &#8220;grown-up&#8221; vision of director <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/geetu-mohandas\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Geetu Mohandas<\/a>. However, a brief but intimate sequence set in a cemetery featuring Yash and Beatriz Taufenbach became the focal point of the controversy.While fans were initially bowled over by the dark aesthetic, with the &#8216;Cemetery Girl&#8217; quickly became the target of online moral policing. Director Geetu Mohandas had recently confirmed Taufenbach&#8217;s identity to satisfy global curiosity, but that recognition soon turned into a barrage of online trolling and criticism for the actress. <\/p>\n<p>Ramayana Teaser Out: Ranbir\u2019s Lord Ram &amp; Yash\u2019s Ravana Look UNBELIEVABLE<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Brazilian actress Beatriz Taufenbach deactivates social media profile amid online backlash over Yash's Toxic teaser (Image Credits: Instagram)\" msid=\"126525684\" width=\"\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/brazilian-actress-beatriz-taufenbach-deactivates-social-media-profile-amid-online-backlash-over-yash.jpeg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>CBFC complaints and legal hurdles<\/p>\n<p>The backlash from social media comments escalated to a formal legal action. A complaint was filed with the <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/central-board-of-film-certification\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Central Board of Film Certification<\/a> (CBFC), alleging that the content is &#8220;morally offensive&#8221; and lacks proper age-restriction warnings for minors. The women\u2019s wing of a political party of Karnataka unit appealed to the Karnataka State Commission for Women, arguing the scene degrades the dignity of women.The Women\u2019s Commission has reportedly written to the CBFC seeking a review of the teaser\u2019s certification and the removal of &#8220;obscene&#8221; frames. Parallelly, critics have argued that using a cemetery as a backdrop for a steamy sequence insults cultural and religious sentiments.Before the Toxic teaser, Beatriz Taufenbach was a relatively low-profile Brazilian model and singer who began her career in 2014. Her sudden leap into the Indian spotlight was meant to be her big break. Instead, the &#8220;Cemetery Girl&#8221; has been met with such intense scrutiny that her Instagram handle is now inactive. Insiders suggest the deactivation is a temporary measure to avoid &#8220;toxic&#8221; comments while the production house and legal teams handle the CBFC fallout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brazilian actress Beatriz Taufenbach has deactivated her Instagram following intense backlash over her intimate scene in the Geetu&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":412846,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,218164,447,218165,30991,134,154184,218163],"class_list":["post-412845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-beatriz-taufenbach","tag-celebrities","tag-cemetery-girl","tag-central-board-of-film-certification","tag-entertainment","tag-geetu-mohandas","tag-yash-toxic-teaser"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
