Director Geetu Mohandas talks about including Nayanthara
As per a report by IANS, speaking about casting Nayanthara as Ganga, director of the film, Geetu Mohandas said, “We all know Nayan as a celebrated star with a commanding screen presence, and a remarkable career spanning two decades but in 'Toxic', audiences will witness a talent that had been quietly waiting to explode. I wanted to portray Nayan in a way that she’s never been showcased before. But as the shoot progressed I began to see how closely her own personality echoed the soul of the character. It wasn’t imitation, it was alignment.The depth, the honesty, the restraint, and the emotional clarity she brought were not performances layered on top of the character, they were qualities she already possessed. I found my Ganga, so brilliantly performed by her, and even more unexpectedly, I found a dear friend.”
The movie will be released on March 19, 2026. It will clash with Ranver Singh led, Aditya Dhar directed 'Dhurandhar'.
