The first look of Kiara Advani from her upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Adults is out. The poster was released on Sunday morning and quickly caught attention online. Yash (the film’s male lead) shared it on his Instagram. Kiara Advani and the film’s team reposted it soon after.
Toxic marks a key moment for both actors. It is Kiara Advani’s first film since she became a mother earlier this year. It is also Yash’s first release after the KGF franchise ended in 2022. Therefore, expectations are high.
FIRST Look Of Kiara Advani From Toxic Out
In the poster, Kiara is introduced as Nadia. Yash wrote in his caption, “Introducing Kiara Advani as NADIA in – A Toxic Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups.”
The image shows Kiara standing alone on a dance floor. She is dressed in a black off-shoulder gown with a thigh-high slit. A spotlight falls on her. She looks away from the camera with a serious expression. Tears can be seen on her face.
The poster clearly balances glamour and grief. Fans quickly noticed the dark and intense mood. Many compared Kiara’s look to characters from Tim Burton films. Some even mentioned the DC character Harley Quinn. Overall, her look sparked strong and emotional reactions online.
The discussion did not end with the poster reveal. Along with it, Yash also confirmed the film’s release date. Toxic will hit cinemas on March 19. This means a direct box office clash with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2. The announcement shifted the focus of the online chatter.
Soon after, social media was filled with reactions about the clash. While several users praised Kiara’s look, many talked about box office chances. Some felt Dhurandhar 2 would dominate in the Hindi belt. Others believed Toxic could still perform well.
One user wrote, “Dhurandhar 2 has got a massive hype now, while Toxic will suffer in Hindi regions.”
Another commented, “Dhurandhar ke aage nahi chalegi.”
A third user said, “If it clashes with Dhurandhar 2, then one more flop for Kiara.”
However, not all opinions were negative. One fan said, “Yash will dominate South and has a huge fan base in UP too, I’m sure both will do well.”
Another user felt the film may face judgment because of the clash. They wrote, “This movie is going to get judged harshly just because it is going against Dhurandhar. Better for them to move their date.”
Some viewers also questioned the film’s tone. One comment said, “This film will be very polarising. I don’t think it will be a box office hit. Geetu Mohandas has very indie sensibilities, and this film has a very huge budget.”
