Yash and Nayanthara

Right after the Diwali festivities, it will be work calling Yash. The Kannada superstar, along with co-actor Nayanthara, will dive into the next leg of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups. The buzz is that director Geetu Mohandas will lead an extensive Mumbai schedule from November 6. While Film City will serve as the primary venue for the shoot, an additional set is being built at Madh Island.

With the pan-India action extravaganza spanning the 1950s to 1970s, we've heard that the production team is constructing a sprawling set at Film City depicting the '70s. An insider told us, "Geetu is sparing no effort in making Toxic an ambitious affair. The sets are larger-than-life while staying true to the decade. The designers have sourced elements from the '70s, from vintage cars, to guns and other weaponry."

While Nayanthara plays Yash's on-screen sister in the actioner revolving around the drug mafia, Kiara Advani portrays his love interest. In this leg, the KGF superstar and Nayanthara will wrap up most of their combination scenes. Some critical action sequences are also on the cards. The source added, "The action will be raw and gritty, with an emphasis on physicality. Fifty stunt experts have been roped in for these scenes. Kiara and Akshay Oberoi will also be a part of this schedule."
