The world of Toxic- A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, headlined by Rocking Star Yash, just got darker, deadlier, and infinitely more stylish. The makers have officially unveiled Akshay Oberoi as Tony and Sudev Nair as Karmadi — two striking new additions to this high-stakes action saga.
Akshay’s Tony feels ripped straight out of the 1950s. With long sideburns, a vintage silhouette, and unmistakable old-world swagger, he arrives not merely as a man who has witnessed violence, but as someone who has mastered it — suave yet menacing. The newly unveiled poster showcases Akshay in a never-seen-before avatar, hinting at a deeply layered and menacing character that adds intrigue to the film’s dark world.
