Huma Qureshi said at the Toxic pre-release event in Chennai that co-star Kiara Advani shot a rain sequence while six months pregnant without complaining once. Huma, who had a severe headache during the scene, said every time she wanted to complain she looked at Kiara, who stood 'like a rock' doing the scene. Kiara nodded when Huma asked if she was nearly six months pregnant.
The event was held at Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium on August 24 after a one-day postponement. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups releases worldwide on August 26. The film has grossed Rs 18 crore from advance bookings for its opening day, with three days still to go before release, the Hindustan Times reports. Freepressjournal reports the film is reportedly one of the most expensive Indian films shot in Kannada and English.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets carry the same anecdote from the pre-release event without any political slant. Freepressjournal leads with the rain sequence and Huma's headache, while Hindustan Times frames the story by first noting the criticism Kiara faced over the Tabaahi song and then using Huma's praise as a counterpoint. The balanced reading is that Kiara's professionalism during pregnancy is the uncontested news, but the context of recent public criticism against her is absent from one source. The film's box office test begins with its release on August 26.
Toxic opens in theatres on August 26.
