First Look of Kiara Advani as ‘Nadia’ Unveiled from Yash’s ‘Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups’


One of the most anticipated films of 2026, Rocking Star Yash’s ‘Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups’, continues to build massive momentum as the makers officially unveil the first look of Kiara Advani as their Nadia.

Advani, who has steadily built a reputation for her versatility and screen presence, appears in a whole new light in this latest reveal. Having navigated a variety of genres—ranging from poignant dramas to high-octane commercial cinema—she has firmly established herself as one the most prominent figures in the Hindi film industry. This new character marks an intriguing evolution in her filmography as she steps into the raw and vivid world envisioned by director Geetu Mohandas.

The first look at Nadia captures Kiara Advani in a moment of striking complexity. While the poster initially places her in a glamorous spotlight against a vibrant circus backdrop, a closer inspection reveals a character defined by profound emotional layers. Beneath the spectacle lies a sense of grief and melancholy, signaling a shift toward a performance-driven narrative. This complex depiction hints that Nadia is far more than a conventional role, suggesting a transformative turn that could be a career-defining milestone for the actress.

Reflecting on Kiara’s portrayal, director Geetu Mohandas said "Some performances don’t just belong to a film, they redefine an artist. What Kiara created on screen in this film is nothing short of transformative. As a director, I am deeply proud of her and for the performance she has delivered, and for the faith and heart she brought into our shared journey.”

Four years after redefining box-office history with KGF: Chapter 2, Rocking Star Yash makes his much-awaited return to the big screen with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, one of the most anticipated films of 2026, generating massive buzz across industries—made even more special as the announcement coincides with the 7th anniversary of KGF, the film that marked the beginning of a cinematic phenomenon.

Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups has been filmed simultaneously in English and Kannada, with dubbed versions planned in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and several other languages, underscoring its global ambition. The film brings together a formidable technical team with National Award winner Rajeev Ravi as cinematographer, Ravi Basrur on music, Ujwal Kulkarni handling editing, and TP Abid leading production design, while Hollywood action director JJ Perry (John Wick) and National Award-winning duo Anbariv have choreographed the film’s high-octane action sequences. Produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic is slated for a grand theatrical release on the long festive weekend of 19th March 2026, coinciding with Eid, Ugadi and Gudi Padwa.
