Rukmini Vasanth opens up about her experience in 'Toxic'
Mumbai, August 14
Actor Rukmini Vasanth has a key role in 'Toxic', and she can't wait for the audience to see her performance.
Speaking about what made Toxic special for her, Rukmini in a press note said, "Toxic is an incredibly special film for, I think, everyone who's been a part of it, certainly for me. There's so many things I could go into. There is the expansiveness of the world that we inhabit. The scale of it, I think, was something that really blew me away the first time I heard about it."
Rukmini spoke about her curiosity to discover where 'Mellisa' fits into the larger world of Toxic and how her character connects with the other characters in the story. "I was so excited about the journey of discovering how Melissa fit into this world and what the rest of them related to each other like. And there's so much of how it all was enmeshed together that I think I was just curious about," she said.
The actor also admitted that getting the opportunity to share screen space with Yash was an exciting part of the experience. "There's also the matter of being a Yash Sir fan girl and then getting to share screen space. That was also incredible for me," Rukmini said.
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, directed by Geetu Mohandas and starring Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Huma Qureshi, is set to release worldwide in cinemas on August 26.

I love how Rukmini is so humble about working with Yash. She's been consistently choosing good roles, and Toxic seems like another smart move. Can't wait to see Melissa's character arc!
The hype around Toxic is unreal. Geetu Mohandas is a brilliant director, and with Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara, and now Rukmini, this is going to be a visual spectacle. Wish they'd release more BTS content though! 🤔
Rukmini is such a refreshing presence in Indian cinema. Her excitement about the film's world-building is infectious. The cast is incredible, but I hope the story gives everyone equal depth and not just Yash's show.
As someone who follows Indian cinema from abroad, seeing this level of production quality and cross-industry collaboration is amazing. Rukmini's enthusiasm is genuine, and I appreciate her honesty about being a fan of Yash. The release date is marked on my calendar!
Nice to see Rukmini getting such a big platform. But I hope Toxic isn't just about the scale and stars—the story needs to deliver too. Geetu Mohandas is a filmmaker who respects characters, so I'm cautiously optimistic. All the best to the team! 👍
