The first look of Huma Qureshi from the much-awaited action-thriller ‘Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups’ is finally here. The film, which stars Yash in the lead, sees Huma stepping into the shoes of a mysterious character named Elizabeth.
On Sunday, the makers shared the poster on their official Instagram account.
A glimpse of Elizabeth
In the poster, Huma is standing amidst a graveyard surrounded by old tombstones and stone statues. This gives the scene a haunting cinematic feel. Dressed in an elegant black outfit, she leans casually next to a vintage black car. Her expression is calm yet serious.
The film is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Geetu Mohandas, who spoke about casting Huma in the role. According to a press release, the director admitted that finding the right actress for Elizabeth was no easy task.

“Casting for this role was perhaps the trickiest. The character demanded a performer with high-octane caliber and an undeniable presence. From the moment Huma entered my frame, I knew she possessed something rare. She carried an effortless sophistication and intensity that immediately brought the character of Elizabeth alive for me,” said Mohandas.
Yash returns to the big screen
The movie marks Yash’s return after the blockbuster success of ‘KGF: Chapter 2’. This highly anticipated project has been in the news for some time and is being produced in both Kannada and English.
