Kiara Advani credits Yash and Geetu Mohandas for her role in Toxic; Praising the creative environment on set

The newly released trailer for "Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown Ups" has sparked buzz across social media, with Kiara Advani’s portrayal of Nadia drawing particular interest. In the clip, Advani’s character is shown as a woman driven by revenge, hinting at the intense performance the actress promises in the full film.

During the trailer launch held in Bengaluru on Saturday, Advani took the opportunity to thank her co‑star Yash and director Geetu Mohandas for opening the door to this role. She said, “I truly believe that Geetu and Yash manifested for me to be Nadia in this film. They saw it in me and believed I was capable of this much before I knew about that fearless leap that I was ready to take as an actor. Today, when I watch every little bit of our film, I just want to say thank you.”

Advani highlighted the supportive atmosphere on set, noting that the creative environment she experienced will stay with her forever. “Thank you Geetu and thank you Yash for giving me a part that I know will be very special for me as an actor in my journey. I think there will be a Kiara before Toxic and a Kiara after Toxic. You have spoiled me and every actor on this film. What we’ve tasted is now going to make us want so much more and we’re just going to be so much greedier with every film we step into,” she added.

While she kept details about Nadia’s storyline under wraps, Advani expressed excitement about bringing the character to life. “I cannot wait for the world to experience Nadia. I don’t think I can describe her in one word. So, I’m just going to let the audience go and experience it,” she said. She also praised her fellow cast members, describing the experience as a joy: “It was such a joy to watch each one of you on screen and to work with each one of you and our technical teams. With every single person, excellence was just the beginning, the baseline. I can’t wait for all to witness the magic that everyone has put into this film.”
