Nayanthara breaks her 'no promotion' rule for 'Toxic': Made an exception only for Yash
Mumbai, Aug 9
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', made an exception as she was seen at the trailer launch event for 'Toxic' on Saturday, 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.
We also get a better idea of Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth, and Huma Qureshi's characters, the leading ladies of 'Toxic'.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, 'Toxic' has been jointly backed by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations.
Gearing up for a worldwide theatrical release on 26 August 2026, 'Toxic' has been shot simultaneously in English and Kannada with dubbed versions in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam.

It's refreshing to see an actress who prefers to let her work speak for itself. No unnecessary publicity stunts, just pure talent. And if she made an exception for Yash, he must be truly special on and off screen. Respect! 👏
Honestly, I think it's a smart move. The hype around Toxic is already massive, and now with Nayanthara making an exception, it's just adding more fuel to the fire. Yash's stardom is unmatched, and this film is going to be a pan-India blockbuster. Mark my words!
I really appreciate Nayanthara's honesty here. Many celebrities claim they avoid promotions but then do endless interviews. She actually means it. And her admiration for Yash seems genuine, not just PR talk. Both are amazing actors, and the trailer looks stunning!
It's nice to see such humility from Nayanthara. Usually, stars have big egos, but she openly admits she's not good at promotions and stayed away. That's real self-awareness. And Yash's grounded nature is well-known. This combination is going to be magical. All the best to the team! 🙏
The trailer itself was so intense! With such a stellar cast and Geetu Mohandas directing, this is going to be a visual treat. Nayanthara saying she made an exception only for Yash just shows how much respect he commands in the industry. Super excited for August 2026! 🎬
