In the poster, Sudev is seen in a powerful avatar, holding a gun and firing bullets at his enemies. He sports a moustache, and his face bears a determined yet slightly menacing expression. He matches the retro vibe of the setting with his glasses and beret and accessorises his look with rings and a watch. Parked behind him is a vintage car, and the air is filled with smoke from an explosion.
Toxic trailer
It may be recalled that only recently, the makers had released a gritty and intense teaser of the film.
The Toxic trailer reveals a massive, cinematic world that is both vibrant and brutal. Moving from a circus setting to an East Asian-inspired backdrop, the story spans different time periods with a dark, edgy atmosphere. Yet, beneath the brutal exterior and high-octane visuals, the teaser offers a glimpse into something deeper: a meticulous focus on storytelling and powerhouse performance that serves as the beating heart of this gritty universe.
At the centre of this cinematic storm stands Rocking Star Yash, undergoing a transformation that is nothing short of a total reinvention. His physical evolution serves as one of the film’s most powerful statements, showcasing a range of appearances—from a lean, agile silhouette to a massive, battle-hardened physique – all forged through relentless discipline.
It may be recalled that the makers have already disclosed the looks and character names of the actresses who are a part of the film. Nayanthara plays Ganga, Kiara Advani plays Nadia, Huma Qureshi plays Elizabeth, Rukmini Vasanth plays Mellisa, and Tara Sutaria stars as Rebecca in the film.
Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups is slated to hit cinemas worldwide on March 19 this year. Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups has been simultaneously shot in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions planned in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and several other languages.
