Actor Yash is back with his much-awaited release of 2026, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups. On his 40th birthday, he dropped the teaser of Toxic. Helmed by Geetu Mohandas, the teasers introduced the dark, seductive and dangerous world in which Yash as Raya unleashes chaos and violence.
The teaser of the film, titled Toxic: Introducing Raya, has garnered a positive response, crossing 53 million views in just 24 hours. However, netizens cannot stop talking about a rare, steamy scene featuring Yash and a seemingly Hollywood actress. While many assumed that it was Natalie Burn, recently the director revealed that it was Beatriz Taufenbach.
Geetu Mohandas introduced Beatriz Taufenbach and wrote on Instagram, “This beauty is my cemetery girl with heart emoji.”
Not much about Taufenbach has been revealed by the makers. Seemingly a new face, she maintains a private Instagram account with only 1,855 followers and 1,825 following.
Many mistook Taufenbach for Natalie Burn who is also a part of the film.
Born in Ukraine as Natalia Guslista, Natalie Burn is an American actress, model, screenwriter, and film producer.
After attending the Bolshoi Ballet School in Moscow and later the Royal Ballet School in London, she entered the film industry. While it is not known when exactly she made her debut, she started off as an actress and model. Later, Burn transcended into a writer and filmmaker, and launched her own production company, 7Heaven Productions.
She starred in several Hollywood projects, such as The Expendables 3, The Comeback Trail, Til Death Do Us Part, The Last Redemption and Eyes In The Trees.
Natalie Burn will mark her official debut in Indian cinema with Toxic. Not much about her role is known yet. However, the teaser hinted that she might play a key role in Yash's character Raya in the film.
In the over 2-minute-long teaser, Yash as Raya is introduced at the sombre event. Chaos erupts in the middle of a funeral at a cemetery, prompting everyone, including women, men and kids, to run away. This is when an intimate car scene, starring Natalie Burn, grabs the limelight. After the rare intimate scene, Raya steps out of the car and unleashes violence, setting the tone of the film.
Watch teaser:
Toxic is set to release on 19 March, 2026. The pan-India release will clash with Dhurandhar 2 at the box office.
