Karnataka Women’s Commission Refers Yash’s Toxic Teaser to CBFC Over ‘Obscene’ Content

CBFC action is being sought, with sources indicating the online teaser was not subject to certification.

Overview

  • The AAP Women’s Wing filed a complaint to the Karnataka State Women’s Commission alleging explicit visuals harm women and children and seeking the teaser’s removal.
  • After receiving the petition, the commission asked the certification board to take appropriate action and submit an action‑taken report.
  • Social activist Dinesh Kallahalli separately petitioned the board, invoking obscenity provisions and CBFC guidelines and calling for statutory steps.
  • CBFC sources said the teaser was released only online and was not certified, underscoring a grey area over regulation of digital promos.
  • The teaser, released January 8, continues to circulate as producers have not issued a detailed response and the film is slated for a March 19 theatrical release.
