<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.

Directed by SS Rajamouli, the movie stars Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra and  Prithviraj in the lead roles. The movie will hit the theatres on April 7, 2027, on the occasion of Ram Navami. 

It would not be wrong to say that SS Rajamouli is the one director who took a major risk by releasing Baahubali in two parts. While this gamble paid off in Indian cinema and inspired many others to follow the trend, the most recent example is Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar. Now, it has been learned that after the recent success of Ranveer Singh’s film, Rajamouli has decided to split his ambitious upcoming film Varanasi into two parts. Starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj, the movie is set to release in theatres on Ram Navami in 2027. Will Varanasi be released in two parts? Here’s what we know: Varanasi is Rajamouli’s next big project that the world is eagerly waiting for. As anticipation builds, it has been reported that the director is planning to split the film into two parts.

They are looking at extending it into a two-part format. This format has worked wonderfully for Dhurandhar. Rajamouli and his team feel this extended format would afford them the liberty to tell a more expanded story without looking anxiously at the clock,” the source said.
