Kareena Kapoor Khan was all set to play KGF star Yash's sister in his next Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, but now the latest buzz is that the actress has made an exit from the film.
As per reports in Pinkvilla, Bebo moved out of the project due to conflicts of dates.
“The makers tried their best to get Kareena on board for the sister role, but the actress’s dates didn’t align with those of the Sandalwood star. Hence, Kareena exited the project, and the decision was an amicable one,” mentioned the report.
This news leaves the fans disappointed, as it would have been a delight to see these two stars together in one frame as siblings.
Also, with Kareena’s exit, the makers of the film were in talks with different actors for the role.
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.
The KGF star took to his Instagram and shared a video of him wearing a hat and holding a cigar for the announcement of the film. It is speculated that the film is based on the drug mafia and is an action thriller.
This movie marks the debut collaboration between Yash and the national award-winning director, Geethu Mohandas. Production for Toxic is presently in progress, with the film scheduled to premiere on the big screen on April 10, 2025.
