The anticipation for the upcoming multi-starrer film 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' has reached a new high. The makers have now unveiled the first look poster of Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi, who joins the film's impressive ensemble cast. The reveal was made by none other than the film's lead star and pan-India sensation, Yash.
A Chilling Introduction to Elizabeth
Yash took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account to introduce Huma Qureshi's character to the world. The poster presents Qureshi as Elizabeth, immediately setting a dark and mysterious tone for her role. Dressed in an elegant all-black outfit, she stands with a subtly menacing calmness in front of a vintage black car from the early 1990s.
The background of the poster amplifies the eerie vibe. A thunderous sky looms behind her, featuring a sorrowful statue of a winged woman. The setting is flanked by long, crest-like structures, completing a gothic and dramatic visual narrative. The overall dark theme strongly suggests that Huma Qureshi will be portraying a character with negative shades, promising a powerful and unpredictable performance.
Internet Erupts with Fan Reactions
The first look poster has sent fans into a frenzy, with social media flooding with excited comments. Many praised the top-notch quality of the visuals and Huma Qureshi's fierce and powerful screen presence. One fan questioned if her character Elizabeth would be the most unpredictable element in this 'toxic' tale, while others simply expressed how seated and ready they are for the film's release.
This reveal comes just days after the makers introduced another key female lead. Kiara Advani's character, named Nadia, was showcased in a stunning black gown against a dramatic circus backdrop, hinting at the film's rich and varied character arcs.
