Why wasn’t Kiara Advani allowed to say ‘Hello’ on the set of *Toxic*? The truth behind the director’s bizarre directive. Why didn’t Kiara Advani say hello on the sets of Toxic? The truth about the director’s strange order

Yash and Kiara Advani’s much awaited pan India film ‘Toxic’ is in the news these days. Recently, Kiara Advani has made a very interesting revelation about this film being made under the direction of Geetu Mohandas. Kiara told that shooting this film has been one of the most challenging experiences of her career, and the reason behind it was a special ‘order’ from director Geetu Mohandas.

Director’s strange order: ‘No hi-hello’ on the set

Kiara told in a recent interview that director Geetu Mohandas wanted Kiara to be completely connected with the depth of her character and her mental state. That is why Geetu had given strict orders to Kiara not to talk much to anyone on the set and not to say ‘hi-hello’.

Kiara said, “I like to meet everyone by nature, it is my habit to say ‘Hello’ first as soon as I come on the set. But Geetu wanted me to remain in that special emotional ‘zone’ of my character. I was forbidden to talk to anyone, so that the seriousness of the character is not disturbed.

Most difficult project of career: Double load of Kannada and English

During the shooting of the film, Kiara had to work hard physically and mentally. Kannada is not his mother tongue, so it was a big challenge for him. Kiara told that she had to shoot every sequence twice—once in English and then in Kannada.

• Double hard work: It was a very tiring task to portray the same emotion again and again in two different languages.

• Language Barrier: It was very difficult for him to memorize Kannada dialogues and then deliver them with precision.

Update of cast and release date of the film

Apart from Yash and Kiara, a brilliant star cast will be seen in the film ‘Toxic’, which also includes Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Rukmani Vasant and Tara Sutaria. The film is being produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations.

As far as the release date of the film is concerned, fans are still confused. Earlier this film was to be released on March 19 and then on June 4. According to reports, the film has been postponed once again, although no new release date has been officially announced by the makers yet.
