Akshay Oberoi, known for working in Fighter (2024), Gurgaon (2016) and Laal Rang (2015), will be making his Kannada film debut with Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups. The actor is currently undergoing intensive language training to master Kannada for his role.

Speaking about the experience, Akshay said, "Stepping into a new industry and language is both exciting and challenging. For me, it’s not just about memorizing lines in Kannada but truly understanding the essence of the language and culture to bring authenticity to my character. The production team has been incredibly supportive, providing expert coaches to help me refine my pronunciation, diction, and emotional expressions. Yash has also been an inspiring co-star, and I’m thrilled to be part of such a grand cinematic project. I want to give this my best and make a genuine connection with the Kannada audience."

Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic is produced by Venkat K Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. The upcoming much-anticipated film plans to combine action with an unconventional storyline and brings together an ensemble cast: Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Humba Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Kyle Paul in prominent roles.

Meanwhile, Akshay was last seen in the crime-drama Ghuspaithiya, which released in theatres in August last year.
