Rukmini Vasanth’s look from Yash’s ‘Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups’ unveiled

MUMBAI: Actor Rukmini Vasanth has a key role in Yash-starrer ‘Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups’. On Tuesday, the first look of Rukmini’s character was unveiled.

Check it out here.

On having Rukmini on board, Geetu Mohandas, in a press note, said, “What I admire most about Rukmini is her intelligence as an actor. She doesn’t just perform, she processes. She asks questions, not out of doubt but out of curiosity. It pushes me to think deeper and sometimes even my own choices as a director. Watching her work reminds me that intelligence on screen often lies in what is left unsaid”.

“Between shots, I often see her quietly writing in her journal , capturing thoughts, small anecdotes from the set. Those moments say a lot about her process. She is constantly building her own inner world. I find her approach incredibly thoughtful, and at times I honestly wish I could steal those pages and read through them, just to understand the mind behind such a layered performance”, he said.
