Actress Huma Qureshi has spoken warmly about her experience working on Yash’s much-awaited film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, describing the project as an important part of her life. During her visit to Chennai, Huma reflected on the three-year journey of the film and praised director Geetu Mohandas, co-star Kiara Advani and Yash.
Huma said returning to Chennai after a long time was special for her. She also recalled how people frequently recognise her as “Kannama,” a reference associated with one of her popular characters.
According to the actress, Toxic has occupied a significant part of her professional journey over the past three years. She said that when Geetu Mohandas offered her the role, the filmmaker did not reveal many details about the character or the story.
Instead, Geetu asked Huma to trust her vision. Huma said the director ultimately delivered what she described as a “banger,” expressing her appreciation for the filmmaker's approach to the ambitious project.
Huma Qureshi on Toxic’s Journey
Huma acknowledged that the making of Toxic involved several ups and downs. However, she credited KVN Productions with shaping the film beautifully and bringing the large-scale project together.
The actress's comments highlight the lengthy production journey behind the film, which has attracted significant attention because of its scale, cast and creative team.
Huma Praises Kiara Advani
Huma also praised Kiara Advani for her dedication to Toxic. Calling Kiara's hard work extraordinary, Huma highlighted the actress's commitment to the project and noted that she continued working on the film during her pregnancy.
Kiara is one of the key members of the film's ensemble, and her involvement has been closely followed by fans since the project was announced.
“There Is Only One Rocking Star”
Huma reserved special praise for Yash, calling him the one and only “Rocking Star.” She said that Yash is taking the Indian film industry to a global level.
Yash's popularity reached new heights following the success of the KGF franchise, which established him as a major pan-India star. His return with Toxic has therefore generated considerable anticipation among audiences across different regions.
Huma said she is extremely excited and proud to be part of the magnum opus. Her comments add to the growing pre-release buzz around the film.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic features Yash in the lead role alongside a prominent ensemble cast. With its ambitious scale and pan-India appeal, the film is expected to be one of the major theatrical releases of 2026.
As the release date approaches, comments from cast members such as Huma Qureshi are giving fans additional insight into the film's long production journey and the team's experience working on the highly anticipated project.
