Bollywood actor Kiara Advani is all set to feature in Geetu Mohandas ‘ Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, marking her first film after pregnancy.
During the film’s audio launch in Mumbai on Thursday, lead actor Yash praised Kiara’s dedication to the project and revealed how he and Geetu turned into “bouncers and bodyguards” to ensure she was taken care of on set.
Kiara received immense backlash on social media after her and Yash’s song, Tabahi, from the film was released. However, after the trailer was released, fans praised her performance. Shot simultaneously in English and Kannada, Toxic will also be released in dubbed versions in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam, taking its world of action, thrill and larger-than-life storytelling to audiences across languages.

The film marks Yash’s comeback to the big screen after his 2022 hit KGF Chapter 2. Narayana’s KVN Productions, the film is scheduled to release in theatres on August 26. Because it’s too demanding, she came into this film; I was a little worried.
Praising Kiara’s commitment to the film, Yash said, “How do I say, I think she is such a professional actor. The first time we spoke, she said, ‘Have you ever done a rain sequence and all?’, I said, ‘Never, but it’s going to be good and easy’. At the film’s trailer launch event last week in Bengaluru, Yash defended Kiara against the backlash and said, “And what you have to go through as an actor, unfortunately, don’t care (about it).
