- Akshay performed a scene from 'The Godfather' to showcase English acting.

Akshay Oberoi's role in Geetu Mohandas' upcoming film 'Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups' came about through a serendipitous family movie night. Mohandas' daughter saw Oberoi's performance in 'Fighter' (2024) and subsequently led her mother to connect with him.

Oberoi was asked to perform Moe Greene's dialogue from 'The Godfather' and prepared for the test by filming himself in a suit, demonstrating his dedication. He found his experience on 'Toxic,' which features a large ensemble cast including Yash, Nayanthara, and Kiara Advani, to be a significant learning opportunity. The film was released in theatres on August 26, 2026.
