<p>A director’s actor in the truest sense, Kiara Advani continues to earn the trust of filmmakers who see in her a rare mix of instinct, intelligence and emotional depth. As a leading lady, she brings both fragility and strength to the screen, adapting seamlessly to the world of every story she becomes a part of. The actress, who is now a new mommy, will next be seen in &nbsp;Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups alongside Kannada superstar Yash.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Talking about casting her, director Geetu Mohandas shared that she was her first and only choice to play the role of Nadia, who is reportedly Yash's character's love interest.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“Nadia (portrayed by Advani) embodies fragility and ferocity at once, so from the very beginning, she was my first and only choice. There is something about her screen presence that feels deeply human. Sometimes cinema begins not with logic, but with a feeling, and casting Kiara was exactly that kind of feeling,” the director shared.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/is-yash-playing-a-femboy-and-kiara-a-lesbian-in-toxic-viral-synopsis-leaves-netizens-curious-1772796358758">Is Yash playing a ‘femboy’ and Kiara Advani a lesbian in Toxic?

<p>“Her dedication is not loud or performative. It is quiet, disciplined and deeply sincere. She doesn’t just follow directions, she participates in building the emotional architecture of the character. You can see that she has spent time living with the character in her mind long before the camera starts rolling. But what truly sets her apart is her curiosity, which transforms the filmmaking process into a conversation rather than a one-sided direction,” she added.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The much-anticipated action drama <i>Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups </i>will release on June 4, 2026, amid the escalating tensions and regional instability in the Middle East.

Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic is one of the most-anticipated movies of the year. After being pushed from it's March release, the Yash-starrer will hit the theatres in June. 

A director’s actor in the truest sense, Kiara Advani continues to earn the trust of filmmakers who see in her a rare mix of instinct, intelligence and emotional depth. As a leading lady, she brings both fragility and strength to the screen, adapting seamlessly to the world of every story she becomes a part of. The actress, who is now a new mommy, will next be seen in Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups alongside Kannada superstar Yash. Talking about casting her, director Geetu Mohandas shared that she was her first and only choice to play the role of Nadia, who is reportedly Yash's character's love interest. “Nadia (portrayed by Advani) embodies fragility and ferocity at once, so from the very beginning, she was my first and only choice. There is something about her screen presence that feels deeply human. Sometimes cinema begins not with logic, but with a feeling, and casting Kiara was exactly that kind of feeling,” the director shared.

<p>The craze around Dhurandhar refuses to die down. Amid the praises and historic box office numbers, actor-director Deepak Tijori has pointed out a glaring issue with the Censor Board's policy of 'half-muting' abusive words in theatrical versions. Tijori took to social media to point out the Censor Board’s inability to censor the cuss words.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since there is no regulation by the CBFC over OTT platforms, the first part of Dhurandhar is available on the OTT without the muted cuss words and impacting children at large, argued Deepak Tijori.</p><h2>What Deepak Tijori wrote about Censor board and Dhurandhar</h2><p>In a long Instagram post, Deepak Tijori said he is left confused as to why the Censor Board keeps cuss words half-muted instead of fully muting them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"Maybe I just don't have the kind of intellect that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) or its board members possess. Because I genuinely don't understand this – why mute half the abuses and let the other half stay? At places, keep some and fully mute others?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"Especially when the film is already certified 18+, which clearly means it's meant for adults. So who exactly are we protecting here? And from what... half a word?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"And then comes the part that really confuses me – the same film, within a month or two, releases on OTT... completely unmuted... untouched... exactly as it was meant to be.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"And that's where kids end up watching it... at home... sitting with family... with everything fully audible,” the actor wrote</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"So I'm just trying to understand, honestly – how smart is it to 'half mute' something in theatres for adults, when the same thing plays out in full volume at home soon after? Maybe there's a logic here I'm unable to see... or maybe, just maybe... we're overthinking the wrong things," Deepak Tijori added.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><h2>What cuts did the CBFC demand from makers of Dhurandhar</h2><p>As per the certification report, the CBFC suggested 4 out of 21 major modifications, all involving visuals of extreme violence. These include reductions in moments described as "smashing the eye", "beheading and kicking", "hitting the head with a cement block", and "hitting the head with a hammer".</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The report also noted that dates of demonetisation in the subtitles were corrected, and "Lahore" was replaced with "Delhi" in the information text.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The CBFC granted the film an ‘A’ certificate, with a final runtime in India of 3 hours, 49 minutes, and 36 seconds.</p><p>The version submitted to the CBFC was approximately 3 hours and 51 minutes. With the board's additional cuts of around 1.3 minutes, the domestic version is now more than 6 minutes shorter than the overseas cut, which has a 3-hour and 55-minute runtime.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/dhurandhar-2-review-ranveer-singh-aditya-dhar-show-but-how-much-violence-is-too-much-who-is-bade-saab-1773916682940">Dhurandhar: The Revenge review - It's a Ranveer Singh show but the brutal violence goes too far</a></p><h2>About Dhurandhar 2</h2><p>Dhurandhar, released in December 2025, emerged as the year's highest-grossing film and the top earner in a single language. In Dhurandhar 2, which released earlier this month, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt reprise their roles. The film gives a backstory of Ranveer’s character and also shows how he becomes the underworld king in Lyaari post Rehman Dacait’s death.</p>

Actor-filmmaker Deepak Tijori has called out the Censor Board for its policy of only half-muting the cuss words in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Tijori has pointed out that the film, once released on OTT, has no abusive words muted. 

The craze around Dhurandhar refuses to die down. Amid the praises and historic box office numbers, actor-director Deepak Tijori has pointed out a glaring issue with the Censor Board's policy of 'half-muting' abusive words in theatrical versions. Tijori took to social media to point out the Censor Board’s inability to censor the cuss words. Since there is no regulation by the CBFC over OTT platforms, the first part of Dhurandhar is available on the OTT without the muted cuss words and impacting children at large, argued Deepak Tijori. What Deepak Tijori wrote about Censor board and Dhurandhar In a long Instagram post, Deepak Tijori said he is left confused as to why the Censor Board keeps cuss words half-muted instead of fully muting them. "Maybe I just don't have the kind of intellect that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) or its board members possess. Because I genuinely don't understand this – why mute half the abuses and let the other half stay? At places, keep some and fully mute others? "Especially when the film is already certified 18+, which clearly means it's meant for adults. So who exactly are we protecting here? And from what... half a word? "And then comes the part that really confuses me – the same film, within a month or two, releases on OTT... completely unmuted... untouched... exactly as it was meant to be. "And that's where kids end up watching it... at home... sitting with family... with everything fully audible,” the actor wrote "So I'm just trying to understand, honestly – how smart is it to 'half mute' something in theatres for adults, when the same thing plays out in full volume at home soon after? Maybe there's a logic here I'm unable to see... or maybe, just maybe... we're overthinking the wrong things," Deepak Tijori added.
