Rukmini Vasanth's look from Yash's 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups' unveiled

Director Geetu Mohandas praises Rukmini Vasanth's intelligent acting process as her first look for 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups' is released.

"What I admire most about Rukmini is her intelligence as an actor. She doesn't just perform, she processes. - Geetu Mohandas"

Mumbai, January 6

Actor Rukmini Vasanth has a key role in Yash-starrer 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups'.

On Tuesday, the first look of Rukmini's character was unveiled. Check out here

On having Rukmini on board, Geetu Mohandas, in a press note, said, "What I admire most about Rukmini is her intelligence as an actor. She doesn't just perform, she processes. She asks questions, not out of doubt but out of curiosity. It pushes me to think deeper and sometimes even my own choices as a director. Watching her work reminds me that intelligence on screen often lies in what is left unsaid. Between shots, I often see her quietly writing in her journal , capturing thoughts, small anecdotes from the set. Those moments say a lot about her process. She is constantly building her own inner world. I find her approach incredibly thoughtful, and at times I honestly wish I could steal those pages and read through them, just to understand the mind behind such a layered performance."

Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups has been filmed simultaneously in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions planned in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and several other languages. Earlier, the makers unveiled the first looks of Kiara Advani as Nadia, Huma Qureshi as Elizabeth, Nayanthara as Ganga, and Tara Sutaria as Rebecca.

Toxic is slated for theatrical release on March 19, 2026.

The cast is absolutely stacked! Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara, Huma, Tara, and now Rukmini... this is a pan-India dream team. Filming simultaneously in Kannada and English is a bold and interesting move. Hope the story lives up to the hype.

Respectfully, I hope the focus remains on strong storytelling and not just on assembling a huge star cast. The title 'A Fairytale for Grown-Ups' sounds intriguing, but recent big-budget pan-India films have sometimes disappointed. Fingers crossed Geetu Mohandas delivers!

The detail about her writing in a journal between shots is fascinating. It shows a level of dedication and thoughtfulness you don't always see. It makes me more interested in her character. The first look is very mysterious!

As a Kannadiga, super proud to see a film with Yash being shot simultaneously in Kannada and getting this level of attention. Rukmini is a great addition. Hope the original Kannada version gets its due credit and isn't just seen as a "dubbed" film later.

March 2026 is so far away! The wait is going to be toxic indeed 😉. But seriously, with this team and such a unique concept, it might just be worth it. Geetu Mohandas directing and co-writing with Yash is a combo I didn't know I needed.
