On Saturday, May 23, 2026, superstar Yash opened up about the powerful parts played by Nayanthara and Kiara Advani in his upcoming gangster drama Toxic. The actor praised the strong women characters in the film and described a unique style of intensity they bring to the story.
Speaking in a recent conversation, Yash highlighted how director Geetu Mohandas crafted the female roles with deep emotion and strength. He noted that while many stories explore the rough side of the criminal world through male leads, this project takes a refreshing approach. The KGF star explained that the women in Toxic handle their own lives with fierce independence and face tough situations head-on.
Yash shared, “We have some female characters who are truly bad*ss women who have taken responsibility for their lives and survive in any situation. There’s a different kind of violence within every human being. So when you bring those personalities into the story, especially through the female gaze, it becomes very refreshing.” His words have created huge excitement among fans eager to see Nayanthara and Kiara in these commanding roles alongside him in the high-octane thriller.
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups follows a gripping tale set in the dangerous world of crime. Yash leads the cast as a formidable figure navigating betrayal and power struggles. The film also features Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth in key parts. Shot in both Kannada and English, it will reach audiences across multiple languages including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam. Action sequences come from experts like JJ Perry, known for John Wick, promising intense and stylish fights.
The movie has built massive anticipation since its announcement. Yash co-wrote the script with Geetu Mohandas, adding his personal touch to the narrative. Music by Ravi Basrur is expected to elevate the dark and stylish atmosphere. Although the release faced some delays for better global positioning, the project continues to generate buzz with its bold vision and star power. Fans are particularly thrilled about the fresh take on female characters who match the men in strength and complexity.
This update from Yash gives a clearer picture of what to expect from Toxic. It positions the film as more than just another action saga by focusing on emotional depth and varied expressions of power. Nayanthara brings her commanding presence as a key figure, while Kiara Advani adds glamour and intensity to her part. Together with the rest of the ensemble, they promise a story filled with surprises and raw energy that stands out in Indian cinema.
