Actor Huma Qureshi has been added to the cast of Yash's upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups, portraying the character Elizabeth. The makers announced the news on Sunday and shared her first look poster on social media. This addition builds on the ensemble that already includes Kiara Advani as Nadia.
The announcement of Huma Qureshi's involvement in Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups marks another step in assembling the cast for Yash's highly anticipated project following his success in KGF Chapter 2. Directed as a fairy tale for grown-ups, the film features Yash in the lead role, with production handled jointly by Venkat K. Narayana under KVN Productions and Yash's Monster Mind Creations.
In the first look poster, Qureshi appears in a long black gown adorned with ruffled details and a prominent slit, evoking a dark and spooky ambiance that aligns with the movie's thematic tone. This visual teaser has generated buzz among fans, highlighting her character's mysterious allure.
Previously revealed cast members include Kiara Advani, who will play Nadia. The ensemble also comprises Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth, Tovino Thomas, Akshay Oberoi, and Sudev Nair, among others. Toxic is set for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026, coinciding with Eid, where it will directly compete with Dhurandhar 2 in what promises to be one of the year's biggest box office clashes.
Beyond Toxic, Yash is lined up for the role of Ravana in the upcoming Ramayana, starring alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Ravi Dubey, and Sunny Deol. Details about the plot of Toxic remain sparse, but the film's pan-Indian appeal and star power position it as a major release in 2026.
