Mumbai: Amidst the heightened anticipation surrounding Yash’s forthcoming film ‘Toxic’, recent developments have stirred interest among fans. Bollywood luminary Kareena Kapoor Khan, initially set to debut in South Indian cinema with this project, has regrettably withdrawn from the film due to scheduling conflicts. Her intended portrayal of a sister character had sparked considerable excitement among enthusiasts eager to witness her collaboration with Yash.
This unexpected alteration in the cast has left many wondering about Kareena’s replacement in ‘Toxic’. Speculation abounds, suggesting that Nayanthara, renowned for her notable performances in Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’ and several other successful ventures, is being considered for the role.
Reports from Pinkvilla indicate that Nayanthara has engaged in discussions with director Geethu Mohandas and Yash regarding her potential involvement in the project. Impressed by the character crafted for her, Nayanthara may accede to the offer, pending further negotiations.
Should negotiations prove fruitful, Nayanthara would assume a significant role in ‘Toxic’, signaling a notable shift in the film’s ensemble.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas and produced under the banner of KVN Productions, ‘Toxic’ is touted as a ‘Fairy tale for grown-ups’, promising an enthralling narrative. While rumors abound regarding Kiara Advani’s potential inclusion in the cast, no official confirmation has been forthcoming. With filming already underway, the film is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on April 10, 2025.
