About Toxic

Helmed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups is a period gangster action drama that stars Yash in the lead role. Set against the backdrop of Goa, the film follows Raya's rise in the underworld as he navigates betrayal, violence and the struggle for power.

Alongside the KGF actor, the film also features Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Huma Qureshi in key roles. Huma plays Elizabeth, a sophisticated, intense and commanding woman.

Despite the massive buzz surrounding its release, Toxic failed to meet box-office expectations. According to Sacnilk, the film collected approximately Rs 342.26 crore worldwide, falling short of its reported production budget of around Rs 500 crore. Its performance was considered a flop.

Apart from Toxic, Huma also appeared in Baby Do Die Do alongside Chunky Pandey and Sikander Kher, and featured in Pooja Meri Jaan opposite Mrunal Thakur.
