When you are building a cinematic underworld, the clothes are not just costumes—they are armor. In Geetu Mohandas’s upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, the fashion takes center stage. But do not expect basic, off-the-rack outfits. The visual world of Toxic relies heavily on sharp, custom-made tailoring designed to make every character look untouchable.
From Everyday Realism to High Glamour
Costume designer Neha R. Bajaj is leading the charge for the film's overall look. You might know her work from the gritty, everyday clothing seen in The Family Man. But for Toxic, she completely flipped the script.
Bajaj has described the movie's style as the exact opposite of reality. It is a highly stylized, unapologetically glamorous world. Every single piece worn by the cast—including leading ladies like Kiara Advani and Huma Qureshi—is meticulously crafted to project fierce authority and high-fashion drama.
Dressing the Ultimate Gangster
When dressing a massive star like Yash, the tailoring has to be absolutely flawless. To nail that perfect "suave gangster" vibe, it took a village of top-tier talent working in total sync:
The Custom Fit: While Bajaj oversaw the movie's whole aesthetic, Yash’s personal wardrobe was handled by his go-to stylist, Saniya Sardhariya. They coordinated closely to ensure his custom suits fit perfectly into the movie's dark, luxurious world without looking out of place.
The Grooming: A bespoke suit only works if the grooming matches the attitude. Celebrity hairstylist Alex Vijaykanth reportedly tested out multiple distinct looks for Yash, treating his hair as a crucial part of the gangster's evolution.
The Complete Package: The real magic of Toxic is the teamwork. The custom tailoring, the mood lighting, and the makeup all work together to create a striking, tailored look that fans have never seen these actors pull off before.
