The world of Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, headlined by Rocking Star Yash, just got darker, deadlier, and more stylish. The makers have officially unveiled Akshay Oberoi as Tony and Sudev Nair as Karmadi, adding two intense new characters to the high-stakes action saga.
Akshay Oberoi’s character Tony is inspired by a retro 1950s aesthetic, featuring long sideburns, a vintage silhouette, and an old-world swagger. His look suggests a man shaped by violence—suave, menacing, and deeply layered. The newly released poster showcases Akshay in a never-seen-before avatar, hinting at a morally ambiguous character who brings intrigue and menace to the film’s dark universe.
In the poster, Akshay stands atop piles of bodies, a striking visual that instantly establishes the brutal and high-stakes tone of Toxic. His piercing gaze, rugged styling, and commanding presence portray a character driven by power and violence, blurring the line between hero and villain.
The makers recently unveiled the film’s teaser, which highlights the menacing side of Yash’s character and showcases the scale and brutal intensity audiences can expect from the film.
