Pinkvilla was the first to report that after the historic success of KGF and KGF 2, Yash’s next two feature films will be the Geetu Mohandas-directed Toxic and the Nitesh Tiwari directorial, Ramayana with Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi. Soon after, it was reported by several media houses that the makers of Toxic had roped in Kareena Kapoor to play the part of Yash’s sister in the gangster saga, and the actress too indirectly confirmed her involvement in the feature film.

But now, we have exclusively learnt that Kareena Kapoor is no longer a part of Toxic. According to sources close to the development, Kareena Kapoor and the team of Toxic have mutually parted ways due to date issues. “Kareena Kapoor’s dates do not align with the dates of Yash for Toxic. After making efforts to set the calendar right, the makers have amicably parted ways,” revealed a source close to the development.

The source further added that post Kareena Kapoor’s exit, the makers have already initiated conversations with several actresses to play the part. “Toxic has a strong sibling emotion and the part of the sister is very crucial to the narrative, warranting the presence of a top star. The makers are looking to cast actresses with Pan India presence for the part,” the source added.
