Kiara Advani as Nadia

Bollywood actress and new mom Kiara Advani is now gearing up for her next film, 'Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups,' with Kannada superstar Yash.

Makers had shared her first look from the movie yesterday of her character Nadia.

Kiara's look from the movie immediately went viral and fans heaped praises on the actress. Today, the War 2 actress took to her Instagram account and penned a brief note calling it one of the toughest roles she has done till now.

Kiara, who made her comeback to the sets after her maternity break, thanked fans for all their love and wrote about the transformative role. She also called it a 'challenging one.'

Kiara Advani took to her Instagram stories to thank her fans for all the love for Nadia in the first poster of Toxic.

She wrote, “A role that demanded more from me—physically, mentally, and emotionally—and felt nothing short of transformative. My toughest one yet. Months of hard work. One fearless leap. To see this first look receive so much love means everything. Grateful beyond words."

Kiara’s first look as Nadia has already taken the internet by storm, leaving fans stunned by her commanding presence, striking intensity, and the depth conveyed through her eyes. Audiences have even drawn comparisons to Harley Quinn, calling this one of her most fearless avatars to date.

Praising Kiara’s performance, director Geetu Mohandas said: “Some performances don’t just belong to a film they redefine an artist. What Kiara created on screen in this film is nothing short of transformative. From our very first conversation, she placed an unwavering trust in a character that demanded everything from her – be it emotionally, mentally, and artistically. She didn’t just play the role, she lived it. As a director, I am deeply proud of her and for the performance she has delivered, and for the faith and heart she brought into our shared journey.”

"Toxic" will be Kiara's first release after the birth of her daughter Saraayah. Kiara and her husband, Sidharth Malhotra, welcomed their baby girl, Saraayah, in July this year.

Directed by National Award–winning filmmaker Geetu Mohandas, the highly anticipated film is slated to release in theatres on 19th March.
