Akshay Oberoi, who plays Tony in Yash's gangster drama Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups, has spoken about his brief screen time in the 194-minute film. In an interview with Zoom, Oberoi said he was satisfied with his role, adding that he is a secure actor who believes in his work and the impact he can leave with a short performance.
Oberoi recalled advice from Pankaj Tripathi: 'What if the role is small? Make the small role big with your acting.' Oberoi said those words changed him as a person and stayed with him. Directed by Geetu Mohandas and co-written by Yash, the film also stars Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The advice Oberoi cites comes from a veteran known for elevating minor roles into memorable performances, a path Oberoi now follows as a supporting actor in a superstar-led film. The real test for him is not screen time but whether audiences remember Tony after a single viewing of a 194-minute story. The film's box office run will determine how many get that chance.
Toxic released on 22 April and is co-produced by Yash's Monster Mind Creations with KVN Productions.
