Superstar Yash-fronted Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups Complete Star Cast (So far)

Bengaluru, September 9 - Superstar Yash's highly anticipated gangster action thriller Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious pan-India films in recent times, with a huge ensemble, dominated by female leads, coming on board. Alongside Yash's towering presence, the film is powered by a dynamic ensemble of celebrated performers from across industries. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic features Kiara Advani as the female lead, who is reportedly playing Yash's love interest. Known for balancing glamour with depth in her performances, Kiara's role is expected to be more than just ornamental, adding emotional weight to the storyline. South lady superstar Nayanthara has reportedly been roped in to play the role of Yash's sister, a character said to be pivotal in driving the emotional arc of the gangster saga. The film also ropes in Tara Sutaria, marking one of her most intriguing roles yet, as early reports hint at her character sharing a sharp rivalry with Kiara's. Huma Qureshi reportedly joins the cast as the antagonist. With her recent track record of strong, layered portrayals, Huma's casting adds serious heft to the villain's side of the story. Adding further depth to the ensemble are Rukmini Vasanth, one of the most happening stars in South Indian cinema, along with Akshay Oberoi and Sudev Nair. While their exact character details are still under wraps, all three actors are known for choosing unconventional roles and bringing subtle nuance to their performances. Apart from the stellar cast (so far), the makers have roped in some of the best international crew to sharpen the technical aspect of the film. Hollywood action choreographer J.J. Perry is working on the film. With such talents attached to it, Toxic is poised to be more than just another gangster film. It promises a mix of style, substance, and strong performances, making its 2026 release one of the most eagerly awaited cinematic events. Produced by Yash under his banner Monster Mind Creations in association with KVN Productions, Toxic is scheduled to release on March 19, 2026, on the occasion of Eid. Stay tuned...

Nayanthara Slams Dhanush For Demanding Money For Using His Film's Footage In Her Netflix Documentary

Chennai, November 16 - In a dramatic turn of events, actress Nayanthara has slammed actor Dhanush in an open letter to him. The controversy erupted when Dhanush denied permission to use the footage of his production venture Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015) in Nayanthara's upcoming Netflix docuseries, Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairy Tale. ## In a lengthy note to the actor, Nayanthara accused Dhanush of demanding a 10 crore sum for using a mere 3 seconds of a video clip from the movie in the documentary. The actress said in the note that she and her team gave up the idea of using the clips of the film since Dhanush denied giving NOC despite several requests. ## "After two long years of battling it out with you for an NOC (No Objection Certificate) and waiting for your approval for our Netflix documentary release, we finally decided to give up, re-edit and settle for the current version since you declined to permit the usage of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan songs or visual cuts, even the photographs to say the least despite multiple requests", Nayanthara said in the letter.## The actress also seemingly character-shamed Dhanush by alleging that he is not the person he portrays to be on the stage in the audio launches in front of his fans.
