Bollywood actress Kiara Advani attended the Toxic event in Hyderabad and shared her feelings about the city, Telugu audiences and her upcoming film. She thanked the audience for giving her so much love every time she visits Hyderabad.

Kiara started her speech by remembering her first Telugu film Bharat Ane Nenu, which starred Mahesh Babu. She said that the movie was the first time she experienced the special love of Telugu audiences. According to Kiara, there is no audience like the Telugu audience when it comes to showing love and support.

She also said that Hyderabad always makes her feel at home. Kiara explained that Toxic should not be seen only as a Kannada or English film. She said the movie belongs equally to Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi audiences because it is an Indian film.

Kiara thanked the entire Toxic team for working hard to make the film special in every language. She specially thanked Yash and director Geetu Mohandas for their vision and efforts.

The actress also spoke about her character Nadia in the movie. She said she hopes the Telugu audience will love Nadia as much as she enjoyed creating the character. Kiara praised Geetu Mohandas and said that the director’s extraordinary vision helped bring the character to life.

Kiara revealed that Geetu is currently busy giving the final touches to the film and could not attend the Hyderabad event. She said the entire team was missing their director at the event.

Kiara also had special words for Yash. She called him one of the most inspiring actors she has worked with. She praised his passion for cinema and said she often wonders what is going on in his mind when she watches him work.

She said Yash’s contribution to cinema will inspire many people. She said she cannot wait for the audience to see what he has created with Toxic.

At the end of her speech, Kiara asked fans to watch the movie in theatres on August 26. She thanked the audience for waiting for the film and promised that Toxic will offer them a special cinematic experience.
