A recent buzz around Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups suggested that Malayalam star Sudev Nair may join the solid of the highly anticipated movie. The rumor sparked from a warm birthday message shared by Geetu Mohandas on Instagram, featuring a candid image of Sudev holding a surfboard on the beach.
Her caption read, “Glad Birthday to one among my fav performers.” This led fans to attach the dots as Sudev was the one actor visibly featured within the recently released teaser of Toxic. The teaser strengthened assumptions about his key role within the narrative. The shadowy, stylized frames hint at something dark and action-driven, just like the roles Sudev is thought for portraying.
The actor also took to his Instagram and shared an image with Yash, through which he’s seen holding his hands and thanking the crew of Toxic for a memorable moment on set. He wrote, “Thanks @thenameisyash and our Toxic film crew for choreographing the sweetest stunt of the day. In pineapple and chocolate flavours. Unsuccessfully tried my best to interrupt his weight loss plan. I, nonetheless, am under no such dietary regulations for my Birthday week. @geetu_mohandas @toxic_themovie @kvn.productions #rajeevravi”
While Sudev Nair’s caption appears light-hearted on the surface, it also drops a big clue. The actor mentions a stunt choreographed for him on set. Could his character be involved within the film’s adrenaline-fuelled motion set pieces? With the tone of Toxic described as a dark fairy tale, it’s protected to assume that Sudev may be playing a layered role that blends intensity, combat, and emotion.
While the makers have shunned making a gift of much of the character details, the teaser appearance, the director’s post, and his own cheeky caption suggest that Sudev Nair could also be portraying an important role within the film’s twisted fairytale-inspired world.
Sudev Nair is recognized for his nuanced performances. He rose to critical acclaim with My Life Partner, which earned him the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor in 2014. Along with Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, he can also be gearing up for the discharge of his next Malayalam film, Sleeplessly Yours, directed by Goutham Surya. The film is slated to hit theatres on May 20, 2025.
