Discussions on Reddit and X highlighted irregularities in anatomy, lighting, and posture, prompting users to suggest that the poster may have relied heavily on AI-generated imagery. One Reddit thread argued that “pretty much proves it’s AI,” while X users questioned the authenticity of the official release.
Supporters countered that the stylistic choices align with Toxic’s gritty, period gangster aesthetic. Some praised the visuals for being bold and different, emphasizing that the dramatic imagery could be an intentional creative decision rather than a flaw.
The film’s production team, including KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, has not commented on the AI claims. The poster was promoted by both the production house and star Yash, highlighting Tara Sutaria’s pivotal role in the story.
