Nayanthara reveals Yash's 4.5-year journey and family sacrifice for Toxic
A famous Indian actress named Nayanthara usually does not go to movie promotional events.
But she made a special appearance at the trailer launch of a movie called Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups.
She went because her co-star Yash simply called her and asked her to come.
At the event, she affectionately called Yash 'Rocky Bhai' and said he worked very hard on the movie for four and a half years.
She said he gave up time with his family and his kids so he could focus on making the film.
Nayanthara also said very nice things about the movie's director, Geetu Mohandas, who took care of every actor on set.
She said her co-star Kiara Advani did one of the best jobs of her career in this movie, playing a character named Nadia.
Nayanthara initially did not want to be in the film, but she changed her mind after hearing the story.
The movie is a grown-up fairy tale, and it will come out in theaters on August 26, 2026.
'Lady Superstar' Nayanthara made a rare promotional appearance at the 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' trailer launch in Bengaluru, saying one call from Yash was enough.
She revealed that Yash gave four and a half years of his life to the film, sacrificing time with his family and kids, and called Radhika his biggest strength.
Nayanthara praised director Geetu Mohandas for caring for every actor and holding their hands during tough moments, calling Yash the most hardworking actor she has seen.
She predicted that Kiara Advani's role as Nadia in Toxic will mark a turning point in her career.
The film, which also stars Rukmini Vasanth, Huma Qureshi, and Tara Sutaria, is slated for release on August 26, 2026.
