The birthday reveal comes weeks after the release of Tabaahi, the first song from the film, which offered audiences a closer look at the chemistry between Yash and Kiara Advani. The music video generated considerable buzz and provided one of the earliest glimpses into the film’s visual style.
In a recent interaction, Kiara opened up about the demanding process of portraying Nadia under the direction of Geetu Mohandas. She revealed that the filmmaker encouraged her to remain completely immersed in the character while shooting, even requesting that she avoid exchanging greetings with the cast and crew before filming scenes to help maintain the emotional intensity required for the role.
The actor also spoke about the challenges of working on a bilingual production. Since Toxic was filmed simultaneously in English and Kannada, she had to perform every scene in both languages. Kiara admitted that memorising Kannada dialogues, despite not being familiar with the language, required extensive preparation and often meant learning her lines the night before filming.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups stars Yash, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Nayanthara, Rukmini Vasanth and Huma Qureshi in pivotal roles. Shot in English and Kannada, the film will also release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
