# Shocking Exit: Why Gulshan Devaiah Walked Out of Yash's *Toxic* Midway – Unpaid and Mistreated? Imagine signing on for a blockbuster with Yash, only to bail halfway due to unpaid dues and rude treatment. That's exactly what happened to **Gulshan Devaiah** in the high-stakes world of *Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups*.[1][2] In a candid interview with SCREEN Spotlight, Devaiah spilled the beans on his abrupt departure from the film, which stars Yash alongside Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, and Tara Sutaria. "They did offer me *Toxic* a long time ago. It just didn't work out for a variety of reasons, mostly scheduling. They didn't pay me and behaved very badly with my manager," he revealed.[1][2] He double-checked his contract's lapse date before quitting, ensuring he couldn't be sued – a smart move in Bollywood's cutthroat contracts.[1] This isn't just tea; it's a peek into the unprofessional underbelly of big-budget productions. *Toxic*, written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by her, is Yash's grand return post-*KGF: Chapter 2* success. Shot in Kannada and English with dubs in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and more, it's aiming for pan-Indian glory. Produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, it boasts top talent like cinematographer Rajeev Ravi, composer Ravi Basrur, and editor Ujwal Kulkarni. Slated for a massive March 19, 2026 release during Eid, Ugadi, and Gudi Padwa, it'll clash with *Dacoit* and *Dhurandhar 2* at the box office.[1][2] Devaiah's exit raises eyebrows – is this a one-off glitch, or a sign of deeper issues in Yash's camp? Fans are buzzing: Will *Toxic* deliver without him, or has the drama already tainted its hype?
