Kiara Advani revealed that while shooting Toxic, director Geetu Mohandas enforced one strict rule: no chitchat on set.

In an interview with NDTV Movies, Kiara explained she was explicitly asked to skip the usual "hi-hellos" on set. The reason was to keep her locked in character and maintain the right headspace for the film.

Mohandas runs a controlled set when it comes to creative work. For Kiara, it meant staying in character from the moment cameras started rolling—no casual conversations, no breaking between takes.

The actress has taken on challenging roles before, and working under Mohandas' direction pushed her in new ways. Kiara committed to the entire process without the usual set pleasantries.
