Yash’s upcoming film Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups is one of the most anticipated projects of 2026, and ahead of the film’s big release, the makers have now officially unveiled the first look of Kiara
Advani as Nadia. While dropping the poster, the makers wrote, “Introducing Kiara Advani as NADIA in A Toxic Fairytale for Grown-Ups.”
The first look at Nadia captures Kiara Advani in a moment of striking complexity. While the poster initially places her in a glamorous spotlight against a vibrant circus backdrop, a closer inspection reveals a character defined by profound emotional layers. Beneath the spectacle lies a sense of grief and melancholy, signaling a shift toward a performance-driven narrative. This complex depiction hints that Nadia is far more than a conventional role, suggesting a transformative turn that could be a career-defining milestone for the actress.
