Soon after the clip began circulating, fans shared their reactions, with many commenting on the film’s visual tone. Some viewers drew comparisons to other films, with one comment reading, “Bombay velvet vibes,” and another asking, “Bombay velvet yet again?” The responses suggest that the leaked visuals have struck a chord for their stylised, retro-inspired look.
Interest in Toxic had already picked up earlier when the makers unveiled first-look posters of key characters. Nayanthara’s introduction as Ganga came with the caption, “Introducing Nayanthara as GANGA in – A Toxic Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups.” Her poster, showing her in a deep-neck black gown while holding a gun, led to further discussion about her role and its importance to the storyline.
The film also features Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Tovino Thomas. Kiara Advani was introduced as Nadia, and reacting to the response to her first look, she wrote, “A role that demanded more from me – physically, mentally, emotionally and felt nothing short of transformative. My toughest one yet. Months of hard work. One fearless leap. To see this first look receive so much love means everything. Grateful beyond words (sic).”
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas, with Geetu Mohandas also serving as the director. The film is produced by Venkat K Narayana and Yash under the banners of KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. It is being made in both English and Kannada, with dubbed versions planned in multiple languages.
