Vignesh Shivan Calls Kiara Advani Lucky During Toxic Promotions
Toxic is a new movie starring Yash and several well-known actresses.
Nayanthara plays a gangster named Ganga, but she could not attend a promotional event in Chennai.
Her husband, filmmaker Vignesh Shivan, attended for her.
Shivan joked that Kiara Advani was lucky not to have acted in his earlier movie, Love Insurance Kompany.
He had first discussed that movie with Kiara before she appeared in Kabir Singh.
Love Insurance Kompany did not do well at the box office.
Kiara laughed and joined the joke.
Shivan also said that he admires Yash and considers him an inspiration.
Toxic is scheduled to arrive in theaters on August 26.
Vignesh Shivan represented his absent wife, Nayanthara, at a Toxic promotional event in Chennai.
He joked that Kiara Advani was lucky to have rejected his film before Kabir Singh.
Shivan’s film Love Insurance Kompany reportedly earned between Rs 58 crore and Rs 66.47 crore worldwide and was considered a flop.
Kiara Advani joined in the humor as Shivan poked fun at the film’s box-office performance.
