- With Geetu Mohandas, who casts her in Toxic (2026), that on-screen presence is what made everything click. “Nadia (portrayed by Advani) embodies fragility and ferocity at once, so from the very beginning, she was my first and only choice. There is something about her screen presence that feels deeply human. Sometimes cinema begins not with logic, but with a feeling, and casting Kiara was exactly that kind of feeling,” Mohandas says.
“Her dedication is not loud or performative. It is quiet, disciplined and deeply sincere. She doesn’t just follow directions, she participates in building the emotional architecture of the character. You can see that she has spent time living with the character in her mind long before the camera starts rolling. But what truly sets her apart is her curiosity, which transforms the filmmaking process into a conversation rather than a one-sided direction.”
