In a candid chat with The Hollywood Reporter India right from Cannes, Tara Sutaria opened up about sharing screen space with Yash and working under the vision of director Geetu Mohandas.

Her enthusiasm was unmistakably genuine — and pointed. Tara made it clear that she prioritizes quality over quantity, and for her, doing *Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups* was satisfying and pleasing, as she wanted to be on sets that make her feel good.

That’s a quietly powerful statement for an actress who has been selective about her projects. When someone as thoughtful as Tara Sutaria says a film made her feel good, it carries real weight.

On the film itself, she dropped a statement that will set the internet on fire: “Everyone has immense power, is fearless and fabulous, and it is globally going to be something that people don’t expect.”

## Being Led by a Female Filmmaker on a Massive Scale

One of the most compelling threads from Tara’s Cannes conversation was her repeated emphasis on director Geetu Mohandas.

Tara expressed that leading “with integrity, purpose, and intention” is something she values deeply, and noted that working with director Geetu Mohandas and co-actor Yash has been a joy of her life — particularly being led by a woman on a project of this scale.

She further emphasized that being led by a female filmmaker on a massive, globally mounted project makes a world of difference on set.

*Toxic* is shaping up to be one of those rare Indian films where the female ensemble isn’t just decorative — they are clearly central to the film’s vision and identity. According to [Wikipedia’s overview of Indian cinema](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_India), a female-directed pan-India blockbuster of this scale would be genuinely path-breaking.

## That Avengers Moment — Is It Really Happening?

This is what every fan is going to be talking about. When asked whether audiences can expect an epic slow-motion moment where all the leading ladies come together on screen — an “Avengers-style” assembly — Tara dropped a major hint with a smile, saying: “We’ll see… I feel like it’ll be there!”

Consider the names in that ensemble: Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, and Rukmini Vasanth. If Geetu Mohandas has indeed crafted a scene that brings all five together in one grand cinematic moment, *Toxic* may well deliver one of Indian cinema’s most iconic frames.

## What About the Release Date?

While *Toxic* was initially slated for an early 2026 release, the makers have pushed the date. The official revised date of the mass entertainer’s release is yet to be revealed by the team.

Yash himself had previously said some stories ask for patience — and given the scale and ambition of what Tara is describing, that patience may well be rewarded handsomely.
