With long sideburns, a vintage silhouette, and unmistakable old-world swagger, Akshay Oberio stuns the audience in jaw-dropping character Tony. He is not just a man who has witnessed violence but someone who has mastered it, suave yet menacing. In the poster, Tony sports a rust-coloured suit over a heap of battered, bloodied men whose limbs are bound with rope. At first glance, the poster undoubtedly screams dominance.
As Tony, Oberio commands fear while standing tall amidst the heap of dead bodies. Whether he is an enforcer, a rival gang leader, or someone more unpredictable, the mystery will unfold on March 19. Not to forget that the danger is unmistakable! In a nutshell, Akshay Oberoi’s retro, morally grey avatar as Tony in Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups adds a menacing new edge to the action saga.
