The emotional portrayal of the sister is deemed pivotal in the storyline, prompting the team to seek an actress with a substantial nationwide fan base.
A source close to the portal said:
“Toxic has a strong sibling emotion, and the part of the sister is very crucial to the narrative, warranting the presence of a top star. The makers are looking to cast actresses with Pan India presence for the part.”
While the movie is already creating a lot of noise in the entertainment industry, it is reported that Kiara Advani will play the female lead in the movie. Further, the casting of the film will be locked soon, and the makers will announce more details about the movie in due course.
