The upcoming Yash starrer Toxic, directed by Geetu Mohandas, continues to hog the headlines for various reasons. The latest to keep the internet abuzz with the film is Kiara Advani's statement that it will change how people perceive the male-female dynamic on the big screen.

In a conversation with Bombay Times, Kiara said that she finds it challenging to work in both languages for the film. "Toxic has been challenging because this is the first time we shot in both English and Kannada. We would do the English shot first till we get it right and then the one in Kannada," the actor said. She added that with Kannada not being her primary language, she has found it hard to work on the film.

It is work; it is homework for sure," Kiara Advani said before quipping that her tendency to learn school lessons by heart has come to use now. "I am that frontbencher in class. I will mug up my dialogues and will do the other person's lines. I will know my work thoroughly," the actor added. She also said that actors should known their dialogues before they reach the set.
