And the wait is over! Pan-India star Yash's highly anticipated Toxic – A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, which is all set to clash with Ranveer Singh's Dhurandha, has already kicked off its promotions. The makers have now revealed the first look of Kiara Advani's character, Nadia.
The poster featuring Kiara Advani is set against a circus backdrop that shows her in a shimmery black thigh-high slit outfit with an off-shoulder gown, looking glamorous as ever. The purple colour grading adds to the mood, hinting that she essays the role of a diva in the film.
Standing in the spotlight on a dance floor, Kiara looks away from the camera and looks up as tears can be seen streaming down her face. Kiara's gothic-like appearance in the poster had fans comparing her to characters from Tim Burton films and even the DC character Harley Quinn.
