Toxic – A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, headlined by Yash, has a star-studded cast, including Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Akshay Oberoi, among others. Did you know Gulshan Devaiah was also offered a part in Toxic? Yes, it has been revealed by the actor himself in an interview. Here's why he turned it down.
Why did Gulshan Devaiah quit Toxic?
In an interview with Screen, Gulshan revealed he was offered Toxic a long time ago. "It’s just that I started with Kantara. Geetu Mohandas and I had a long chat. She really wanted me in her film. But it just didn’t work out for a variety of reasons," he said.
"Mostly, it was scheduling because their film was so big and had so many different parts. I already had things going on here that I was finding difficult to manage. If I took up another big franchise-level project, it wouldn’t work out," the actor added.
