Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown Ups , the movie is one of the biggest releases of the year. Originally set to hit the theatres in March, the movie faced a delay and will now release in August.
Kiara Advani is set to make a comeback to the big screen with Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups, starring Yash. The teaser, songs, and clips from the movie are out, and it has been receiving mixed reactions. But amid all of this, what was more shocking was seeing Kiara take up the bold avatar that she has chosen to play. Now, with the movie close to release, the actress, in an interview with Femina, has revealed why she said yes to Geetu Mohandas' movie. The fact that can't be ignored is how the movie is also facing backlash over the sexualization of women.
In the movie, Kiara is playing the role of Nadia. While details of her character have not been revealed. But she's seemingly playing a cabaret dancer and the love interest of Yash's character.
Why Kiara Advani chose to play the role of Nadia
In an interview, Advani said, ‘’I don’t like stereotyping women,'' as she later explained the reason to be part of Mohandas' thrilling world. Adding further, the actress said she was drawn to the world of Toxic because she was fascinated with multi-layered narratives.
It was the director, who persuaded her to play the role, but Kiara was mesmerized with how fleshed out the character was.
