Now, according to a report by Times Now, a close source to the project revealed that Kareena Kapoor Khan was never even considered for the role. While acknowledging her talent, the source stated that she simply did not fit into the project and would not be compatible with Yash.

When questioned about the casting for Yash’s Toxic, the source clarified that only Yash has been finalized so far, and casting for other characters has not yet begun. Yash’s commitment to the film Ramayan, starring Ranbir Kapoor, in April means that Toxic‘s shooting will not commence until 2025.
In the film industry, there is a tendency to prematurely announce the casting of major films, particularly regarding the female lead. Many actresses have been “finalized” in media reports opposite Kartik Aaryan in Aashiqui 3, despite producer Mukesh Bhatt’s clear statement that the female lead will only be cast once the script and songs are ready.
