Chennai, Jan 9 Seeking to put a stop to the speculation on social media over the identity of the actress seen in a sensuous scene in the trailer of her upcoming film 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups', director Geetu Mohandas on Friday put out a post on her Instagram stories section, identifying the actress as Beatriz Taufenbach.
To mark the birthday of actor Yash on Thursday, the makers of his upcoming film 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups' chose to reveal a striking glimpse of his character, Raya, through a trailer.
Set against the eerie silence of a cemetery, the video opens with a burial in progress before cutting to Yash’s character seated in a car with a woman in an intimate moment. Behind them, a bomb is placed, yet the two remain completely unfazed.
The calm at the cemetery is short-lived due to a sudden blast and gunfire shatters the moment, plunging the scene into chaos. As smoke fills the air and bodies lie scattered, Raya steps forward with a Tommy gun in hand and smoking cigar.
Soon after the trailer released, social media was abuzz with speculation about the identity of the actress seen in the intimate scene in the trailer. Rumours began doing the rounds that the actress seen in the sensuous scene was Natalie Burn.
