His character sports a vintage look with an unmistakably menacing aura, hinting at a flamboyant yet dangerous presence in the narrative. The retro styling and intense expression in the poster suggest that Tony will play a crucial role in shaping the dark world of Toxic. Another prominent name joining the ensemble is Sudev Nair, who essays the role of Karmadi.

Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic is positioned as a stylised gangster drama with international appeal.
