Kiara Advani DENIES requesting Toxic makers to tone down bold scenes with Yash Actor Kiara Advani has dismissed recent reports suggesting that she had raised concerns about certain intimate scenes in her upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups. The clarification comes after a report claimed that the actor had approached the film’s team requesting changes following the final cut. On May 4, 2026, Kiara addressed the speculation through her social media. Sharing a screenshot of the article on her Instagram story, she wrote, “Absolute nonsense,” making her stance clear and rejecting the claims. The report had suggested that Kiara, who stars alongside Yash in the film, had second thoughts about a bold romantic sequence after seeing the final output. It further alleged that she had reached out to the makers, including director Geetu Mohandas, seeking to tone down the scenes. However, Kiara’s response indicates that she does not agree with the version of events being circulated.

The film was earlier scheduled for release on June 4, after avoiding a box office clash with Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which had been eyeing a March 19 release window.

He said he was unable to understand the rationale behind partially censoring expletives instead of either muting them completely or leaving them intact. “I genuinely don’t understand this, why mute half the abuses and let the other half stay?” he remarked, adding that the approach appears arbitrary. The filmmaker also pointed out that the film has already been granted an adults-only certification, questioning the purpose of such partial censorship. “Who exactly are we protecting here? And from what, half a word?” he said, highlighting what he views as a lack of clarity in the guidelines. Tijori further flagged what he termed a “double standard” in censorship between theatrical and digital releases. He noted that while the cinema version features muted language, the same film is later released on OTT platforms without such alterations. “The same film releases on OTT completely unmuted, exactly as it was meant to be,” he said, suggesting that this undermines the logic of theatrical cuts.
