Quotes
Yash
Indian film actor, co‑writer and co‑producer of Toxic
“Kiara, the kind of role you have performed in this, you are so dedicated. Initially, we all thought getting all these actors would be a problem, but Kiara was so down-to-earth. And what you have to go through as an actor, unfortunately, don't care (about it). Whatever you believe in, you should do, and people will celebrate, people will appreciate. It’s just that we are a little ahead of times.”

“Nayanthara, there is a lot of grace in you. You are a lady superstar. I know what your market is, and how fans love you. In this film, there was some issue with the dates. She didn’t get much time, but I liked how you committed yourself to this film. You look like the most badass sister anybody can have.”
