Mumbai,  22 Dec

Actor Kiara Advani on Monday described her role in the upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups as “nothing short of transformative”, calling it the toughest performance of her career.

Headlined by Yash, the film is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026. It is directed by Geetu Mohandas, known for Moothon and Liar's Dice, and produced by VN Productions and Monster Mind Creations.

Advani, who essays the role of Nadia, shared a note on her Instagram story reflecting on the experience. “A role that demanded more from me  physically, mentally and emotionally and felt nothing short of transformative. My toughest one yet. Months of hard work. One fearless leap,” the 34-year-old actor wrote.

The makers unveiled Advani’s first-look poster from the film on Sunday, to which the actor said she was overwhelmed by the response. “To see this first look receive so much love means everything. Grateful beyond words,” she added.

Toxic is also the first Indian film to be simultaneously shot in English and Kannada. The Kannada project marks Yash’s first release since the blockbuster KGF: Chapter 2.

Advani was last seen in War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. The film is a sequel to War.
