The trailer for the highly anticipated gangster drama 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups' starring Kannada superstar Yash has been released to enthusiastic audience response. Alongside Yash, actor Kiara Advani plays a pivotal role in the project. However, following the release of the film's teaser and its track 'Tabahi', Advani found herself at the center of intense social media trolling due to her intimate on-screen sequences. Addressing the online backlash, Yash stepped forward at a promotional event to defend his co-star, advising her to disregard social media commentary and remain confident in her performance.
Star-Studded Trailer Launch in Bengaluru
The team of 'Toxic' gathered in Bengaluru for a grand trailer launch event. The high-profile gathering brought together lead actors Yash and Kiara Advani alongside co-stars Tara Sutaria and Nayanthara. Speaking to the media, Yash publicly praised Advani's dedication to her craft and expressed complete confidence that audiences would appreciate her contribution once the film reaches theaters.
Addressing the Criticism and Portrayal of Nadia
In 'Toxic', Kiara Advani plays Nadia, a circus performer. Her romantic and bold scenes with Yash in the teaser and the music video 'Tabahi' sparked polarizing reactions across social media platforms. Reassuring Advani during the event, Yash noted that the trailer offered merely a small glimpse of her total performance in the film.
Addressing the online noise, Yash commended Advani's down-to-earth attitude on set despite the large ensemble cast. He advised her not to get distracted by external opinions, encouraging her to stay true to her artistic conviction. Yash emphasized that critics often turn into admirers over time, adding that the project is simply slightly ahead of its time.
Kiara Advani Reflects on a Career Turning Point
During the trailer launch, Kiara Advani expressed immense gratitude toward Yash and director Geetu Mohandas, describing 'Toxic' as a major turning point in her acting journey. She revealed that both Yash and Mohandas had envisioned her in the role of Nadia long before she realized her own readiness to take on such a bold and daring character. Advani shared that having the backing of her director and lead actor gave her the confidence needed to embrace the role wholeheartedly.
