Elli AvrRam on being aware about the Nanavati case: I knew a lot about this case

Elli AvrRam has made a mark in Bollywood with films like Mickey Virus, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, and others. Now she is all set to take over the digital world with her performance in the web series The Verdict - State vs Nanavati. The series is based on the infamous K. M. Nanavati case that took place in 1959.


Elli plays the role of Sylvia Nanavati in the series and when we recently met her she revealed that she was offered the same role four years ago for a woman-oriented film. When asked if she was aware about the case, Elli said, “I was aware about it because I had done a meeting for the same role like four years back when it was supposed to be made as a woman-oriented movie. It was supposed to be Sylvia’s story. So, that’s when I got to know about the case. I was really fascinated like this has happened. So, I knew a lot about this case. But that movie never happened, so that’s why I got excited when I got this role now.”

When asked her about her take on the extramarital affair or infidelity, the actress said, “As Elli AvrRam before playing the role of Sylvia I would say that I would not accept it at all, and it would be an end of my relationship. But after getting into the skin of Sylvia, understanding the script, and understanding what life must have been like, it is a matter of understanding your partner and understanding why this happened, and then take it from there. I can’t really any more now say that it would be the end of it.”

The Verdict - State vs Nanavati also stars Manav Kaul, Sumeet Vyas, Viraf Patel, Soni Razdan, Angad Bedi, Kubbra Sait, and Pooja Gaur. The web series started streaming today on Alt Balaji and Zee5.

For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas

Yash says ‘men and women see life differently’ as 'Toxic' brings a new perspective to storytelling

Highlights

  • Yash says Geethu Mohandas brought a layered and different perspective to Toxic
  • The actor resisted repeating the formula behind K.G.F: Chapter 2
  • Toxic is being developed with a global outlook while remaining rooted in Indian storytelling

Four years after the success of K.G.F: Chapter 2, Yash is returning with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, but not in the way many expected. Instead of following a familiar path after one of India’s biggest box-office hits, the actor says he deliberately moved away from projects that felt designed to recreate past success. For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas, challenge himself creatively and think about Indian cinema on a wider stage.

Moving away from formula and playing safe

Yash revealed that after K.G.F: Chapter 2, several ideas came his way that appeared to follow an expected pattern. Rather than capitalising on what had already worked, he was drawn to stories that demanded more thought and experimentation. That eventually led him to Geethu Mohandas and Toxic. While the film carries the visual language of a gangster drama, Yash explained that it also explores emotional complexity, moral ambiguity and darker aspects of human behaviour.
