The makers of Toxic – A Fairytale For Grown-Ups have unveiled Tara Sutaria’s first look from the much-anticipated film, introducing her as Rebecca. Released on Saturday, the poster presents Tara in a powerful, intense avatar, holding a gun and exuding authority—perfectly aligning with the film’s retro-styled world.
Actor Yash, who headlines and co-produces the film, shared the poster on social media, writing, “Introducing Tara Sutaria as REBECCA in – A Toxic Fairytale For Grown-Ups.” A press note further described her character as one who “wields power—and guns—like her birthright.”
A Bold, Retro-Inspired Look
In the first-look poster, Tara Sutaria is seen wearing a strapless gown, paired with lace gloves and voluminous, vintage-styled hair. With a gun aimed confidently off-frame and a steely expression, her character Rebecca is positioned as a commanding presence in the narrative.
Her look complements the retro aesthetic previously revealed through the character posters of Kiara Advani (Nadia), Huma Qureshi (Elizabeth), and Nayanthara (Ganga)—all of whom were introduced earlier by Yash.
