‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups’: Huma Qureshi plays Elizabeth in the Yash-starring period gangster drama

The makers of the upcoming much-anticipated film ‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups’ starring Yash shared the first look of Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi. Sharing her poster, they revealed that she will be playing the role of Elizabeth.

Huma Qureshi’s poster

Kannada Star Yash took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to share the first look of Huma Qureshi, who gives off chilling and unapologetic vibes. She is seen wearing an all-black dress, standing in front of a vintage classic black car from the early 90’s. Her background seems to perfectly support her appearance, as behind her, we can spot a thunderous atmosphere with a winged woman’s sad statue. Some long crest structures are seen on each side of the place. It has graveyard setting with weathered tombstones. Keeping the entire theme of the poster dark, it hints at her character playing a negative role.


Huma Qureshi gives a subtle and calm expression, which shrugs off some menace hiding behind that beautiful face.

Sharing the poster, he wrote, “Introducing Huma Qureshi @humasqureshi as ELIZABETH in A Toxic Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups.”

Fans in the comments are sharing their hype about watching the poster. A fan wrote, “Huma Qureshi looks absolutely fierce as Elizabeth, but do you think she will be the most unpredictable character in this toxic fairy tale?” Another wrote, “The quality of the posters is top-notch!! Seated for it!!” Another said, “Wow...what a powerful woman Huma Qureshi @humasqureshi as ELIZABETH.”

A few days ago, the makers recently unveiled the character of another female lead, Kiara Advani. Her character is named Nadia and was seen in a black gown against a circus backdrop.
