Huma Qureshi as Elizabeth in Yash Movie Toxic, Character Poster Released
One of the most awaited films of 2026, Rocking Star Yash’s Toxic is once again praising the audience. The makers have released the character poster of Huma Qureshi as the character ‘Elizabeth’ in the film. Always noted for her roles that surpass expectations, this entry of Hima indicates a character full of mystery, charm and quiet menace in the dark world of ‘Toxic’. The character poster gives an indication that this will be a performance that will be remembered for a long time.
Over the years, Huma Qureshi has presented the audience with strong characters through films and web series. Huma Qureshi, who has been able to make her own acting mark in all genres, from intense social dramas to different storylines, dark thrillers and mainstream films, has today established her own place in Indian cinema.
Huma’s character poster as Elizabeth is a beautiful presentation of contradictions. The character is presented in a cemetery with tombs and stone sculptures. In the meantime, Huma stands next to a vintage black car, in an off-shoulder black dress, with the beauty of old-time glamour. The gothic atmosphere and dull complexion give her presence a frightening intensity. In a never-before-seen role, Huma portrays Elizabeth, reflecting the dark power hidden within despite appearing calm and beautiful. Her gaze is filled with the confidence of a woman who establishes power without violence—a character whose beauty itself becomes a weapon in a fairy tale that is a mixture of justice and injustice.
Commenting on Huma Qureshi’s casting as Elizabeth, director Geetu Mohandas wrote on social media:
“The casting for this character was the most challenging. It was a role that required high acting skills and a strong presence. I saw that rarity the moment Huma first entered the frame. Her natural sophistication and intensity brought the character of Elizabeth to life. Huma is an actress who raises questions about a character and challenges its interpretation. That debate was part of our creative journey. She has always been a powerhouse talent, but this performance will mark her as a new, strong presence on celluloid.”
Four years after rewriting box office history with KGF Chapter 2, Yash is back on the silver screen with a grand project called ‘Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups’. The film has been creating a lot of buzz in the film industry across languages since the moment it was announced.
Written by Yash and Geethu Mohandas, ‘Toxic’ is directed by Geethu Mohandas. The film, shot simultaneously in Kannada and English, will be dubbed into several languages including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam.

The high-octane action sequences are being prepared under the leadership of Hollywood action director J.J. Perry (John Wick) and National Award winners Anbariv & Kecha Khamphaakdee. Venkat K. Produced by Narayana and Yash under the banners of KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, ‘Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups’ is set for a grand release in theaters across the world on March 19, 2026, during the long weekend coinciding with the festivals of Eid, Ugadi and Gudi Padwa.
