Talking about Tara Sutaria, Yash revealed that the role she plays in Toxic was initially planned as a much smaller role. “We were seeing how we could make each character unique. But then your presence gave us so much, that in fact we increased your scenes more than what it was written. It was all because of your fabulous presence, your efforts and your elegance. You added a lot of elegance to the film and thanks for being a part of it,” he told to Tara at the event.

Yash was also praise for another leading lady of his film, Huma Qureshi, as he thanked her for dedicating so much time to the film, especially in the middle of handling her own production, Baby Do Die Do, which released last month. He said, “I know it's very difficult for a person who is doing a lot of unique work, including doing independent films and being a producer, I can understand what it takes to produce a filn and what all you go through. Despite that, you have taken a lot of time for this film and believed in it. You have given us this freedom to position each one of you.”

Huma also shared, "Every time I am asked about my character, I have to say wait for the film. The film will speak for itself." Discussing how the film has become an important part of her career, Huma added, “Whenever I go anywhere or have interacted with the media in the last two years, everyone has asked me about Toxic. And no matter if I say anything or not, it goes viral. That is the power of this film.”
