Actor Akshay Oberoi, preparing for the release of ‘Toxic’, explains the source of his retro appearance in the movie. With a classic moustache and vintage hairstyle, he pays homage to the 1970s cinema style icons like Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna. Oberoi’s look aims to capture the era’s charisma, inspired by legendary stars such as Shatrughan Sinha and Danny Denzongpa.
The actor expressed, “The retro moustache and classic hairstyle were not mere fashion choices but reflections of the timeless charm of ’70s stars.” Oberoi admires the on-screen presence of actors from that era, finding it powerful and distinctive. He aimed to infuse his character with a touch of that era’s spirit, blending nostalgia with contemporary appeal for today’s audience.
In ‘Toxic’, alongside Akshay Oberoi, are Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria. Initially slated for a March 19, 2026 release, the film was rescheduled to June 4 and later to August 26 for a broader global launch. Produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, ‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups’ will hit theaters worldwide in multiple languages.
