Nayanthara
As Yash's Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups inches closer to its highly anticipated theatrical release on March 19, 2026, the makers continue to peel back layers of its dark, immersive world. They recently unveiled captivating looks of Huma Qureshi and Kiara Advani. Adding to the rising anticipation, the team has now unveiled a striking new poster revealing Nayanthara as Ganga.
Nayanthara first look from Toxic out!
Stunning, lethal, and formidable, the first look positions Nayanthara as a defining force within the universe of Rocking Star Yash’s most ambitious project yet.
Nayanthara’s portrayal of Ganga is visually breathtaking, radiating a fearlessness that matches the film’s massive scale. She commands the frame with striking composure, wielding a gun with practiced authority that feels both elegant and dangerous. Set against the opulence of a grand casino entrance, the lavish, high-stakes setting frames Ganga as a woman who owns the room and calls her own shots.

Speaking about casting Nayanthara as Ganga, director Geetu Mohandas said, “We all know Nayan as a celebrated star with a commanding screen presence and a remarkable career spanning two decades, but in Toxic, audiences will witness a talent that had been quietly waiting to explode. I wanted to portray Nayan in a way that she’s never been showcased before. But as the shoot progressed, I began to see how closely her own personality echoed the soul of the character. It wasn’t imitation; it was alignment. The depth, the honesty, the restraint, and the emotional clarity she brought were not performances layered on top of the character; they were qualities she already possessed. I found my Ganga, so brilliantly performed by her, and even more unexpectedly, I found a dear friend.”
