India, Jan. 11 -- Toxic director Geetu Mohandas has been facing some really harsh trolls after the teaser from the Yash-starrer was released last week. Most of the netizens are appalled that the director of National Award-winning films such as Liar's Dice made the Toxic teaser, even as another (smaller) section is also backing her. But did you know that Geetu Mohandas first started out as a child artiste in south films, such as Onnu Muthal Poojaym Vare, which featured superstar Mohanlal in a special appearance. Veteran Malayalam director-writer Reghunath Paleri, who helmed the 1986 film, recounts that he was highly impressed with little Geetu's performance and observation skills in the film, calling her 'the best technician'.
