Tara Sutaria Unveils Fierce First Look as Rebecca in Yash–Geetu Mohandas’ Toxic

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.

About Toxic – A Fairytale For Grown-Ups

Toxic is a period gangster drama directed by Geetu Mohandas and co-written by Mohandas and Yash. The film is produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under the banners KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations.

The ensemble cast includes:

• Yash

• Nayanthara

• Kiara Advani

• Tara Sutaria

• Huma Qureshi

• Rukmini Vasanth

• Akshay Oberoi

• Sudev Nair

Announced in 2023, the film went on floors in 2024 and has been shot simultaneously in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions planned in Hindi and other South Indian languages.

Release and Expectations

Toxic is scheduled for a March 19 release, coinciding with Ugadi. The film’s first look—set in a lavish casino—surprised audiences due to its stylised tone, marking a departure from Geetu Mohandas’ earlier, critically acclaimed works such as Liar’s Dice and Moothon.

With each character reveal, anticipation continues to build around Toxic, which promises a bold blend of genre cinema, period storytelling, and strong character-driven performances.
