DESPITE being one of the biggest names in the South film industry, Nayanthara refrains from giving interviews and attending any kind of promotional events and pre-release functions for her projects. However, Nayanthara, who will soon be seen essaying the role of Ganga in Yash starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, made an exception as she was seen at the trailer launch event for Toxic recently, along with the rest of the cast. During her address at the trailer launch event, Nayanthara revealed why she avoids such promotional events. The actress claimed that she decided to make an exception only for Yash. She shared, "It's not that I don't want to attend Promotional events. It's just that I'm not good very good at it. So I stay away from it. But this was special because so many reasons. But I think it's just Yash. He just made a call, and it was enough for me to attend the event." Nayanthara further spoke about what made her experience working with Yash in Toxic different. "Everyone's big, everyone's cool. They are really good. That's why they are superstars. But with Yash, when I met him the first time, the kind of larger-than-life image that he actually has, that's how he really is in person also," she added. Meanwhile, the recently released trailer of Toxic provides an insight into the complex relationship between Raya and his son, Ticket, with a web of relationships and rivalries surrounding them.

 

The power-packed preview has all the elements - striking visuals, jaw-dropping action, intense characters, and complicated relationships. Toxic revolves around the complex relationship between Raya and his son, Ticket, accompanied by a web of relationships and rivalries. Through the trailer, we also get an insight into the character arcs of the female leads of the drama - Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth, and Huma Qureshi. The trailer does not give out much about the storyline of the film, but communicates the basic sentiment of the world where chaos meets chaos. Meanwhile, the primary look of Toxicwas shared by the makers on Yash's birthday this January. The video showed Yash getting intimate with a woman inside a car and then gunning down a large number of men. The clip faced some massive criticism for the scene picturised at a cemetery. Complaints were filed by a Christian body, a state women’s commission. An FIR was even filed against the makers. However, several prominent names from the industry came in support. Originally scheduled to reach the audience in March, Toxic was pushed to June, citing ‘uncertainty in the Middle East’. Later in May, the film was once again delayed with no announcement of the release date. Shot simultaneously in English and Kannada, Toxicwill also have dubbed versions in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam. Made under the direction of Geetu Mohandas, Toxic is scheduled for a release on 26 August.
