Overview
- The Yash-led feature Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups is now slated for a June 4, 2026 theatrical release after producers pushed back the earlier March 19 date citing rising tension in the Middle East.
- Director Geetu Mohandas says she chose Advani to play Nadia because the role requires both fragility and ferocity from the same performer.
- Mohandas describes Advani’s process as quiet, disciplined, and deeply sincere, noting that the actor helps build the character’s emotional architecture.
- The director adds that the part pushed Advani physically and emotionally until the work on camera felt like the character breathing.
- Advani, who welcomed a daughter in 2025, frames her return with a new protectiveness, saying she has “become more of a tigress.”
